Method For Simplified Task-based Runtime For Efficient Parallel Computing

摘要

Aspects include computing devices, systems, and methods for implementing scheduling and execution of lightweight kernels as simple tasks directly by a thread without setting up a task structure. A computing device may determine whether a task pointer in a task queue is a simple task pointer for the lightweight kernel. The computing device may schedule a first simple task for the lightweight kernel for execution by the thread. The computing device may retrieve, from an entry of a simple task table, a kernel pointer for the lightweight kernel. The entry in the simple task table may be associated with the simple task pointer. The computing device may directly execute the lightweight kernel as the simple task.

1. A method of scheduling and executing lightweight kernels in a computing device, comprising:
determining whether a first task pointer in a task queue is a simple task pointer for a lightweight kernel; scheduling a first simple task for the lightweight kernel for execution by a first thread in response to determining that the first task pointer is a simple task pointer; retrieving a kernel pointer for the lightweight kernel from an entry of a simple task table, wherein the entry is associated with the simple task pointer; and directly executing the lightweight kernel as the first simple task.
