Abstract: A multiprocessor computing system includes a direct memory access (DMA) engine, a main memory and a host processor including a just-in-time compiler (JIT) that converts bytecode into machine code in discrete executable superblocks (XSBs). The system also includes a system bus coupled to the host processor, the DMA engine and the main memory and allowing communication there between and an auxiliary processing unit (APU) coupled to the system bus and having a local memory, the APU receiving a first XSB from the JIT and storing it in the local memory and loading the one or more next XSBs for execution found in the header of the first XSB into the local memory via the DMA engine.
