Method and System for Yield Operation Supporting Thread-Like Behavior |
| 摘要 |
A method, system, and computer program product synchronize a group of workitems executing an instruction stream on a processor. The processor is yielded by a first workitem responsive to a synchronization instruction in the instruction stream. A first one of a plurality of program counters is updated to point to a next instruction following the synchronization instruction in the instruction stream to be executed by the first workitem. A second workitem is run on the processor after the yielding. |

1. A method of synchronizing a group of workitems executing an instruction stream on a processor, the method comprising:
responsive to a synchronization instruction in the instruction stream, yielding the processor by a first workitem; updating a first one of a plurality of program counters to point to a next instruction following the synchronization instruction in the instruction stream to be executed by the first workitem; and running a second workitem on the processor after the yielding. |
