MECHANISM TO HANDLE BREAKPOINTS IN A MULTI-ELEMENT PROCESSOR - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17899710 titled 'MECHANISM TO HANDLE BREAKPOINTS IN A MULTI-ELEMENT PROCESSOR
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes devices and techniques for handling breakpoints in a multi-element processor, specifically in a compute node with a hybrid threading processor and fabric.
- The compute node includes a hybrid threading fabric with memory-compute tiles, each containing processing and storage elements for executing a kernel.
- Each memory-compute tile has a breakpoint controller to initiate breakpoints for the tiles.

Original Abstract Submitted
Devices and techniques for handling breakpoints in a multi-element processor are described herein. A compute node includes a hybrid threading processor and hybrid threading fabric, where the hybrid threading fabric comprises a plurality of memory-compute tiles, where each of the memory-compute tiles include respective processing and storage elements used to execute a kernel, and where each of the memory-compute tiles includes a breakpoint controller to initiate a breakpoint for the plurality of memory-compute tiles.
