Abstract:
A programmable execution unit ( 42 ) of a graphics processor includes a functional unit ( 50 ) that is operable to execute instructions ( 51 ). The output of the functional unit ( 50 ) can both be written to a register file ( 46 ) and fed back directly as an input to the functional unit by means of a feedback circuit ( 52 ). Correspondingly, an instruction that is to be executed by the functional unit ( 50 ) can select as its inputs either the fed-back output ( 52 ) from the execution of the previous instruction, or inputs from the registers ( 46 ). A register access descriptor ( 54 ) between each instruction in a group of instructions ( 53 ) specifies the registers whose values will be available on the register ports that the functional unit will read when executing the instruction, and the register address where the result of the execution of the instruction will be written to. The programmable execution unit ( 42 ) executes group of instructions ( 53 ) that are to be executed atomically.

Claim (Index 21):
A method of operating an execution pipeline of a data processing system, which execution pipeline includes a programmable execution units that executes program instructions to perform data processing operations, the method comprising:\n issuing to the programmable execution unit a program to be executed by the programmable execution unit, the program comprising a sequence of instructions to be executed by the programmable execution unit when executing the program; issuing one or more execution threads for which the program is to be executed to the programmable execution unit for execution; and executing the program for the execution thread or threads; wherein: executing the program for the execution thread or threads comprises: executing at least one group of instructions of the sequence of instructions for the program atomically; and passing a result generated by an instruction in the group of instructions that is being executed atomically directly for use by another instruction in the group of instructions that is being executed atomically.
