Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product are provided for implementing a software-based scoreboarding mechanism. The method includes the steps of receiving a dependency barrier instruction that includes an immediate value and an identifier corresponding to a first register and, based on a comparison of the immediate value to the value stored in the first register, dispatching a subsequent instruction to at least a first processing unit of two or more processing units.
