Abstract:
Mechanisms for reducing register bank conflicts based on software hint and hardware thread switch are disclosed. In some embodiments, an apparatus for thread switching includes a graphics processing unit (GPU) that includes a plurality of register banks to store operands that are assigned at least partially to avoid register bank conflicts. A decoding circuitry checks a thread switching field of a first instruction to be executed by a first thread. The GPU performs a thread switch mechanism to cause a second instruction to be executed by a second thread when the thread switching field of the first instruction is set.

Claim (Index 19):
A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium having stored thereon data representing sequences of instructions that, when executed by one or more processors, cause the one or more processors to perform operations comprising:\n assigning source operands of instructions to different register banks or ports to at least partially avoid a register bank conflict; performing instruction scheduling including determining an order of the instructions; and generating a thread switching field on a first instruction among the ordered instructions.
