Abstract
The illustrative embodiments comprise a method, data processing system, and computer program product having a processor unit for processing instructions with loops. A processor unit creates a first group of instructions having a first set of loops and second group of instructions having a second set of loops from the instructions. The first set of loops have a different order of parallel processing from the second set of loops. A processor unit processes the first group. The processor unit monitors terminations in the first set of loops during processing of the first group. The processor unit determines whether a number of terminations being monitored in the first set of loops is greater than a selectable number of terminations. In response to a determination that the number of terminations is greater than the selectable number of terminations, the processor unit ceases processing the first group and processes the second group.
