1. A computer implemented method for rearranging a computer program comprising: organizing the computer program logically into a plurality of blocks;constructing a dependency graph based on the organization of the plurality of blocks in the computer program;determining a critical section included in the dependency graph;detecting a portion of the plurality of blocks in the computer program that could be executed outside of the critical section;inserting a plurality of dependency relationships based on the dependency graph between the plurality of blocks to cause execution of the detected portion of the plurality of blocks in the computer program outside of the critical section; andrearranging the detected portion of the plurality of blocks to outside the critical section that were inside the critical section based on the inserted plurality of dependency relationships. 2. The method of claim 1, wherein the plurality of blocks includes computer program instructions. 3. The method of claim 1 further comprising organizing the plurality of blocks in the computer program based on a node and a super block, wherein the node includes a plurality of blocks and the super block includes a plurality of nodes. 4. The method of claim 1, wherein the critical section included in the dependency graph accesses shared resources. 5. The method of claim 1 further comprising adding a termination point to the critical section if a portion of the critical section is outside of the dependency graph. 6. The method of claim 5 comprising inserting a first dependency relationship into and based on the dependency graph, between the plurality of blocks and the added termination point, to form a reconstructed dependency graph to cause execution of the added termination point prior to all other nodes in the reconstructed dependency graph. 7. The method of claim 5 comprising inserting a first dependency relationship into and based on the dependency graph, between the plurality of blocks and the added termination point, to form a reconstructed dependency graph to cause execution of the added termination point subsequent to all other nodes in the reconstructed dependency graph. 8. The method of claim 1 further comprising inserting an additional dependency relationship based on a direct dependency, an indirect dependency, or a shortest life-time dependency. 9. The method of claim 1 further comprising scheduling to execute the plurality of blocks in the computer program based on the dependency graph, after rearranging the detected portion of the plurality of blocks to outside the critical section. 10. The method of claim 1 comprising: assessing whether a portion of the critical section is outside of the dependency graph; andadding a termination point to the critical section and inside the dependency graph when the portion of the critical section is outside of the dependency graph. 11. A computer implemented system for rearranging a computer program comprising: a computer program organizer, to organize the computer program logically into a plurality of blocks;a dependency graph construction module, to construct a dependency graph based on the plurality of blocks of the computer program;a critical section determination module to determine a critical section included in the dependency graph;a detection module to detect a portion of the computer program recognized outside of the critical section that could be executed by the processor; anda dependency relationships inserter, to insert a dependency relationship between the plurality of blocks to cause execution of the detected portion of the computer program outside of a critical section. 12. The system of claim 11, wherein the critical section included in the dependency graph accesses shared resources. 13. The system of claim 12, wherein the dependency relationships inserter adds a termination point to the critical section blocks if a portion of the critical section is outside of the dependency graph. 14. A system for processing a plurality of network packets comprising: a network processor;a network interface to control the transmission between the network processor and a network;a shared resource accessible to the plurality of network packets;a network processor program to process the plurality of network packets;a dependency graph constructor to construct a dependency graph based on the network processor program, determine a critical section, and include the critical section in the dependency graph; anda dependency relationship inserter to (a) optimize the network processor program by inserting a plurality of dependency relationships based on the dependency graph to rearrange the order in which the network processor program is executed, and (b) insert additional dependency relationships based on an indirect dependency. 15. A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium that provides instructions that, when executed by a processor, causes the processor to: organize a computer program logically into a plurality of blocks;construct a dependency graph based on the organization of the plurality of blocks in the computer program;determine a critical section associated with the dependency graph;detect a portion of the plurality of blocks in the computer program that could be executed outside of the critical section;insert a plurality of dependency relationships between the plurality of blocks to cause execution of the detected portion of the plurality of blocks in the computer program outside of the critical section; andrearrange the detected portion of the plurality of blocks to outside the critical section that were inside the critical section based on the inserted plurality of dependency relationships. 16. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15, wherein the critical section included in the dependency graph accesses shared resources. 17. The non-transitory computer-readable storage medium of claim 15 further comprising instructions that add a termination point to the critical section if a portion of the critical section is outside of the computer program. 18. The machine readable medium of method 15 further comprises inserting dependency relationships based on a shortest life-time dependency.
