LOAD STORE CACHE MICROARCHITECTURE - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240281249 titled 'LOAD STORE CACHE MICROARCHITECTURE

The abstract describes a graphics processor that can receive messages from an instruction execution resource and determine whether the message should be sent to shared function circuitry or a set of memory banks within the graphics core. The processor then routes the message accordingly.

• Memory access circuitry in the graphics processor receives messages from an instruction execution resource.
• The circuitry determines whether the message is meant for shared function circuitry or memory banks.
• Messages are routed to the appropriate destination based on the determination made.
• If the message is for shared function circuitry, it is sent there; if it is for memory banks, it is routed to a message sequencer associated with the instruction execution resource.

Potential Applications: - Graphics processing units (GPUs) - High-performance computing - Data processing applications

Problems Solved: - Efficient routing of messages within a graphics processor - Optimizing performance of shared function circuitry and memory banks

Benefits: - Improved overall performance of graphics processors - Enhanced data processing capabilities - Streamlined communication within the processor

Commercial Applications: Title: "Enhanced Graphics Processors for High-Performance Computing" This technology can be used in: - Gaming consoles - Data centers - Supercomputers

Questions about the technology: 1. How does this innovation improve the efficiency of graphics processors? 2. What are the potential implications of this technology for data processing applications?

Original Abstract Submitted

one embodiment provides a graphics processor comprising memory access circuitry configured to receive a message from an instruction execution resource and determine a destination for the message, the destination one of shared function circuitry of a graphics core or a set of memory banks within the graphics core. the memory access circuitry then routes the message to the shared function circuitry in response to a determination that the message is directed to the shared function circuitry or routes the message to a message sequencer associated with the instruction execution resource in response to a determination that the message is directed to the set of memory banks.
