Abstract
In an embodiment of the present invention there is provided a method of facilitating pipelines throughput in a pipeline processor system including at least one producer processor/consumer processor pair. The method includes the step of controlling (22) the producer processor/consumer processor pair to allow them to run out-of-sync without violating dependency (21,23,26).
