摘要

Technologies for low power execution of one or more threads of a multithreaded program by one or more processing elements are generally disclosed.

主权项

1. A method to execute one or more threads of a multithreaded program, the method comprising:
implementing, by a first processing element, a conditional load instruction; stalling, by the first processing element, a conditional load instruction associated with a synchronization primitive when a current value for a variable corresponding to the synchronization primitive is absent from a cache memory; and forwarding, by the first processing element, a coherence request to a second processing element when the current value is absent from the cache memory.
