ABSTRACT:
A micro-sequencer apparatus (10) allows a plurality of threads to independently process one or several algorithms using common components by allowing each thread to execute one instruction during a cycle. A thread counter (12) identifies the current thread to allow processing of its instruction. A thread program counter (16) stores the program count or address for the current instruction for the current thread. An instruction memory (20) stores all instructions, and the program count identifies the particular instruction for processing. A processor (26) receives input information unique to the current thread and processes same with the current instruction to produce an output.
