ORDERED THREAD DISPATCH FOR THREAD TEAMS - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17937270 titled 'ORDERED THREAD DISPATCH FOR THREAD TEAMS
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes an apparatus designed to manage and dispatch threads for thread teams efficiently. The apparatus includes a graphic processor with multiple processing resources that allocate a unique identifier for each thread in a thread team and dispatch them together to a processing resource.
- The apparatus includes one or more processors, including a graphic processor with multiple processing resources.
- The graphic processor allocates a thread team local identifier for each thread in a thread team.
- The threads with the allocated identifiers are dispatched together to a processing resource.
Potential Applications
This technology could be applied in high-performance computing systems, data centers, and other environments where efficient thread management is crucial.
Problems Solved
This technology solves the problem of efficiently managing and dispatching threads for thread teams, improving overall system performance and resource utilization.
Benefits
The benefits of this technology include improved thread dispatch efficiency, optimized resource allocation, and enhanced system performance.
Potential Commercial Applications
Potential commercial applications of this technology include server systems, supercomputers, and any computing environment where thread management is critical for performance.
Possible Prior Art
One possible prior art could be existing thread management systems in high-performance computing environments that may not be as efficient or optimized as the apparatus described in the patent application.
Unanswered Questions
1. How does the apparatus handle thread prioritization within a thread team? 2. What impact does the allocation of thread team local identifiers have on overall system latency and throughput?
Original Abstract Submitted
An apparatus to facilitate ordered thread dispatch for thread teams is disclosed. The apparatus includes one or more processors including a graphic processor, the graphics processor including a plurality of processing resources, and wherein the graphics processor is to: allocate a thread team local identifier (ID) for respective threads of a thread team comprising a plurality of hardware threads that are to be executed solely by a processing resource of the plurality of processing resources; and dispatch the respective threads together into the processing resource, the respective threads having the thread team local ID allocated.
