Zusammenfassung:A method for processing programs and data associated with said programs on a computer processor is provided. Said computer processor comprises a main memory, a memory controller, a plurality of first processing units, each said first processing unit including a local memory exclusively associated with said first processing unit, and a second processing unit. Said method comprises: storing in said main memory said programs and said data associated with said programs; directing with said second processing unit any one of said first processing units to process one of said programs; directing with said second processing unit said memory controller to transfer said one program and data associated with said one program from said main memory to the local memory exclusively associated with said one first processing unit; instructing with said second processing unit said one first processing unit to initiate processing of said one program from said one first processing unit's local memory; and in response to said instructing, processing with said one first processing unit said one program and said data associated with said one program from said local memory exclusively associated with said one first processing unit.
