CREATING SIMD EFFICIENT CODE BY TRANSFERRING REGISTER STATE THROUGH COMMON MEMORY

摘要

Methods, media, and computing systems are provided. The method includes, the media are configured for, and the computing system includes a processor with control logic for allocating memory for storing a plurality of local register states for work items to be executed in single instruction multiple data hardware and for repacking wavefronts that include work items associated with a program instruction responsive to a conditional statement. The repacking is configured to create repacked wavefronts that include at least one of a wavefront containing work items that all pass the conditional statement and a wavefront containing work items that all fail the conditional statement.
