Abstract
In one embodiment, the present invention includes a software-controlled method of forming instruction strands. The software may include instructions to obtain code of a superblock including a plurality of basic blocks, build a dependency directed acyclic graph (DAG) for the code, sort nodes coupled by edges of the dependency DAG into a topological order, form strands from the nodes based on hardware constraints, rule constraints, and scheduling constraints, and generate executable code for the strands and store the executable code in a storage. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
