Abstract: Techniques for executing workgroups are provided. The techniques include executing, for a first workgroup of a first kernel dispatch, a workgroup dependency instruction that includes an indication to prioritize execution of a second workgroup of a second kernel dispatch, and in response to the workgroup dependency instruction, dispatching the second workgroup of the second kernel dispatch prior to dispatching a third workgroup of the second kernel dispatch, wherein no workgroup dependency instruction including an indication to prioritize execution of the third workgroup has been executed.

Abstract: A technique for determining whether a register value should be written to an operand cache or whether the register value should remain in and not be evicted from the operand cache is provided. The technique includes executing an instruction that accesses an operand that comprises the register value, performing one or both of a lookahead technique and a prediction technique to determine whether the register value should be written to an operand cache or whether the register value should remain in and not be evicted from the operand cache, and based on the determining, updating the operand cache.
