==Original Abstract Submitted==

A method of synchronizing a group of scheduled tasks within a parallel processing unit into a known state is described. The method uses a synchronization instruction in a scheduled task which triggers, in response to decoding of the instruction, an instruction decoder to place the scheduled task into a non-active state and forward the decoded synchronization instruction to an atomic ALU for execution. When the atomic ALU executes the decoded synchronization instruction, the atomic ALU performs an operation and check on data assigned to the group ID of the scheduled task and if the check is passed, all scheduled tasks having the particular group ID are removed from the non-active state.
