Abstract
A method of operating a multiprocessor system having a predefined number of processing units for processing data, includes obtaining load information representing a loading of each of a number of randomly selected ones of the processing units. The number of randomly selected processing units is greater than 1 and substantially less than the predefined number of processing units. A least loaded of the randomly selected processing units is identified from the obtained load information. The data is directed to the identified least loaded randomly selected processing unit for processing.
