IPC: G06T1/20
Filed: 2021-09-27
Abstract: Disclosed is a method of handling thread termination events within a graphics processor when a group of plural execution lanes are executing in a co-operative state. When a group of lanes is in the co-operative state, in response to the graphics processor encountering an event that means that a subset of one or more execution threads associated with the group of execution lanes in the co-operative state should be terminated: it is determined whether a condition to immediately terminate the subset of one or more execution threads is met. When the condition is not met, the group of execution lanes continue their execution in the co-operative state, but a record is stored to track that the threads in the subset of one or more execution threads should subsequently be terminated.

The coupling structure may have a coupling layer on the waveguide core layer and below the active layer. A thickness of the coupling layer in the coupling region may produce a guided mode which is evanescently coupled to the active layer. A bottom surface of the coupling layer may be in contact with the core layer and a top surface of the coupling layer may be in contact with the active layer in the coupling region. The active layer may be a photodiode to detect the guided mode supported by the waveguide core layer or an electro-optic modulator modulating amplitude and/or phase of the guided mode.
