Abstract: A method and an arrangement for distributing processor load in a data processing system while executing of block-based computing instructions, as well as a corresponding computer program and a corresponding computer-readable storage medium, which can be used to uniformly distribute the processor load in processors for periodically occurring computing operations. The block-based computing instructions are divided into blocks. Each block requires a number of time-sequential incoming input values. The number can be predetermined for each block. A particular area of application is the field of digital processing of multimedia signals, such as audio signals, video signals, and the like. For distributing the processor load in a data processing system during execution of block-based computing instructions, the operations of the computing instruction to be performed in a block are divided into at least two computing steps, and the computing steps within a block are sequentially processed.

Abstract: The invention is directed to a method and an arrangement for distributing the computing load in data processing system while executing of block-based computing instructions, as well as a corresponding computer program and a corresponding computer-readable storage medium, which can be used to uniformly distribute the computing load in processors for periodically occurring computing operations. The block-based computing instructions are hereby divided into blocks, wherein a block requires a number of time-sequential incoming input values, wherein the number can be predetermined for each block. A particular area of application is the field of digital processing of multimedia signals, such as in particular audio signals, video signals, and the like.
