INDEPENDENT THREAD SATURATION OF GRAPHICS PROCESSING UNITS

摘要

Techniques to saturate a graphics processing unit (GPU) with independent threads from multiple kernels are described. An apparatus may include a graphics processing unit driver for a graphics processing unit having a first partition including a first plurality of execution units and a second partition including a second plurality of execution units, the graphics processing unit driver to dispatch one or more threads of a first kernel to the first partition and to dispatch one or more threads of a second kernel to the second partition to increase a utilization of the plurality of execution units and avoid hardware resource competition.

1. An apparatus comprising:
a graphics processing unit having a first partition including a first plurality of execution units and a second partition including a second plurality of execution units, the graphics processing unit to execute a plurality of threads of a first kernel in the first partition and to execute a plurality of threads of a second kernel in the second partition, the plurality of threads of the first kernel and the plurality of threads of the second kernel executed in parallel to increase a utilization of the plurality of execution units.
