Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for processing multiple streams of data on a plurality of execution threads. Data is selected from a plurality of data sources. An address in the data storage device is allocated for the selected data which is loaded into the allocated address. An execution task including the selected data source, the data address and an execution address is constructed and the data task is queued with previously constructed tasks. A determination is made as to which processing resources are required for each task and tasks are selected for execution in dependence on the determination. Tasks selected for execution are distributed across a plurality of processing threads.
