摘要： One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for unifying the addressing of multiple distinct parallel memory spaces into a single address space for a thread. A unified memory space address is converted into an address that accesses one of the parallel memory spaces for that thread. A single type of load or store instruction may be used that specifies the unified memory space address for a thread instead of using a different type of load or store instruction to access each of the distinct parallel memory spaces.

摘要： One embodiment of an instruction decoder includes an instruction parser configured to process a first non-operative instruction and to generate a first event signal corresponding to the first non-operative instruction, and a first event multiplexer configured to receive the first event signal from the instruction parser, to select the first event signal from one or more event signals and to transmit the first event signal to an event logic block. The instruction decoder may be implemented in a multithreaded processing unit, such as a shader unit, and the occurrences of the first event signal may be tracked when one or more threads are executed within the processing unit. The resulting event signal count may provide a designer with a better understanding of the behavior of a program, such as a shader program, executed within the processing unit, thereby facilitating overall processing unit and program design.

摘要： One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for coalescing memory barrier operations across multiple parallel threads. Memory barrier requests from a given parallel thread processing unit are coalesced to reduce the impact to the rest of the system. Additionally, memory barrier requests may specify a level of a set of threads with respect to which the memory transactions are committed. For example, a first type of memory barrier instruction may commit the memory transactions to a level of a set of cooperating threads that share an L1 (level one) cache. A second type of memory barrier instruction may commit the memory transactions to a level of a set of threads sharing a global memory. Finally, a third type of memory barrier instruction may commit the memory transactions to a system level of all threads sharing all system memories. The latency required to execute the memory barrier instruction varies based on the type of memory barrier instruction.

摘要： A parallel thread processor executes thread groups belonging to multiple cooperative thread arrays (CTAs). At each cycle of the parallel thread processor, an instruction scheduler selects a thread group to be issued for execution during a subsequent cycle. The instruction scheduler selects a thread group to issue for execution by (i) identifying a pool of available thread groups, (ii) identifying a CTA that has the greatest seniority value, and (iii) selecting the thread group that has the greatest credit value from within the CTA with the greatest seniority value.

摘要： A graphics processing unit can queue a large number of texture requests to balance out the variability of texture requests without the need for a large texture request buffer. A dedicated texture request buffer queues the relatively small texture commands and parameters. Additionally, for each queued texture command, an associated set of texture arguments, which are typically much larger than the texture command, are stored in a general purpose register. The texture unit retrieves texture commands from the texture request buffer and then fetches the associated texture arguments from the appropriate general purpose register. The texture arguments may be stored in the general purpose register designated as the destination of the final texture value computed by the texture unit. Because the destination register must be allocated for the final texture value as texture commands are queued, storing the texture arguments in this register does not consume any additional registers.
摘要翻译：图形处理单元可以排队大量纹理请求，以平衡纹理请求的可变性，而不需要大的纹理请求缓冲区。专用纹理请求缓冲区排队相对较小的纹理命令和参数。另外，对于每个排队的纹理命令，通常比纹理命令大得多的一组相关的纹理参数存储在通用寄存器中。纹理单元从纹理请求缓冲区中检索纹理命令，然后从相应的通用寄存器获取相关的纹理参数。纹理参数可以存储在指定为由纹理单元计算的最终纹理值的目的地的通用寄存器中。因为当纹理命令排队时，必须为目标寄存器分配最终纹理值，所以将纹理参数存储在该寄存器中不消耗任何其他寄存器。

摘要： A method for managing a parallel cache hierarchy in a processing unit. The method includes receiving an instruction from a scheduler unit, where the instruction comprises a load instruction or a store instruction; determining that the instruction includes a cache operations modifier that identifies a policy for caching data associated with the instruction at one or more levels of the parallel cache hierarchy; and executing the instruction and caching the data associated with the instruction based on the cache operations modifier.

摘要： A memory is used by concurrent threads in a multithreaded processor. Any addressable storage location is accessible by any of the concurrent threads, but only one location at a time is accessible. The memory is coupled to parallel processing engines that generate a group of parallel memory access requests, each specifying a target address that might be the same or different for different requests. Serialization logic selects one of the target addresses and determines which of the requests specify the selected target address. All such requests are allowed to proceed in parallel, while other requests are deferred. Deferred requests may be regenerated and processed through the serialization logic so that a group of requests can be satisfied by accessing each different target address in the group exactly once.
