An apparatus to facilitate thread synchronization is disclosed. The apparatus comprises one or more processors to execute a producer thread to generate a plurality of commands, execute a consumer thread to process the plurality of commands and synchronize the producer thread with the consumer thread, including updating a producer fence value upon generation of in-order commands, updating a consumer fence value upon processing of the in-order commands and performing a synchronization operation based on the consumer fence value, wherein the producer fence value and the consumer fence value each correspond to an order position of an in-order command.
