20120133654 | VARIABLE-SIZED CONCURRENT GROUPING FOR MULTIPROCESSING - Aspects include, for example, a method for interpreting information in a computer program, or profiling such a program to estimate a group size for instances of that program (program module, or portion thereof). Such a method can be used in a system that supports collecting outputs of executing instances, where those outputs can specify new program instances. Scheduling of new instances (or allocation of resources for executing such instances) can be deferred. A trigger to begin scheduling (or allocation) for a collection of instances uses a target group size for that program. Thus, different programs can have different group sizes, which can be set explicitly, or based on profiling. The profiling can occur during one or more of pre-execution and during execution. The group size estimate can be an input into an algorithm that also accounts for system state during execution. | 05-31-2012 |
20120139926 | MEMORY ALLOCATION IN DISTRIBUTED MEMORIES FOR MULTIPROCESSING - In some aspects, finer grained parallelism is achieved by segmenting programmatic workloads into smaller discretized portions, where a first element can be indicative both of a configuration or program to be executed, and a first data set to be used in such execution, while a second element can be indicative of a second data element or group. The discretized portions can cause program execute on distributed processors. Approaches to selecting processors, and allocating local memory associated with those processors are disclosed. In one example, discretized portions that share a program have an anti-affinity to cause dispersion, for initial execution assignment. Flags, such as programmer and compiler generated flags can be used in determining such allocations. Workloads can be grouped according to compatibility of memory usage requirements. | 06-07-2012 |
20130222402 | Graphics Processor with Non-Blocking Concurrent Architecture - In some aspects, systems and methods provide for forming groupings of a plurality of independently-specified computation workloads, such as graphics processing workloads, and in a specific example, ray tracing workloads.

Workloads grouped together can all execute from the same source of instructions, one or more different private data elements. Such workloads can recursively instantiate other workloads that reference the same private data elements. In some examples, the scheduling key can be used to identify a data element to be used by all the workloads of a grouping. Memory conflicts to private data elements are handled through scheduling of non-conflicted workloads or specific instructions an deferring conflicted workloads instead of locking memory locations. | 08-29-2013 |
