HETEROGENEOUS FUNCTION UNIT DISPATCH IN A GRAPHICS PROCESSING UNIT |
| 摘要 |
A compute unit configured to execute multiple threads in parallel is presented. The compute unit includes one or more single instruction multiple data (SIMD) units and a fetch and decode logic. The SIMD units have differing numbers of arithmetic logic units (ALUs), such that each SIMD unit can execute a different number of threads. The fetch and decode logic is in communication with each of the SIMD units, and is configured to assign the threads to the SIMD units for execution based on such differing numbers of ALUs. |

1. A compute unit configured to execute multiple threads in parallel, comprising:
one or more single instruction multiple data (SIMD) units, wherein the SIMD units have differing numbers of arithmetic logic units (ALUs), such that each SIMD unit can execute a different number of threads; and a fetch and decode logic in communication with each of the SIMD units, the fetch and decode logic configured to assign the threads to the SIMD units for execution based upon such differing numbers of ALUs. |
