Abstract: Systems and methods for improving cache efficiency and utilization are disclosed. In one embodiment, a graphics processor includes processing resources to perform graphics operations and a cache controller of a cache memory that is coupled to the processing resources. The cache controller is configured to set an initial aging policy using an aging field based on age of cache lines within the cache memory and to determine whether a hint or an instruction to indicate a level of aging has been received.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein are generally directed to improvements relating to power, latency, bandwidth and/or performance issues relating to GPU processing/caching. According to one embodiment, a system includes a producer intellectual property (IP) (e.g., a media IP), a compute core (e.g., a GPU or an AI-specific core of the GPU), a streaming buffer logically interposed between the producer IP and the compute core. The producer IP is operable to consume data from memory and output results to the streaming buffer. The compute core is operable to perform AI inference processing based on data consumed from the streaming buffer and output AI inference processing results to the memory.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein are generally directed to improvements relating to power, latency, bandwidth and/or performance issues relating to GPU processing/caching. According to one embodiment, a state of multiple intellectual property (IP) cores that have access to a common cache via a central fabric is observed. Responsive to the observed state being indicative of performance of a standalone workload by a first IP core of the multiple IP cores, the common cache is treated as a local cache of the first IP core by powering off the central fabric and causing the first IP core to access the common cache via a low power access path between the first IP core and the common cache that is outside of the central fabric.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to systems and methods for performing global memory atomics in a private cache of a sub-core of a GPU. An embodiment of a GPU includes multiple sub-cores each including a load/store pipeline. The load/store pipeline is operable to receive information specifying an atomic operation to be performed within a primary data cache of the load/store pipeline. The load/store pipeline is also operable to read data to be modified by the atomic operation into the primary data cache from a memory hierarchy shared by the multiple sub-cores. The load/store pipeline is further operable to produce an atomic result of the atomic operation by modifying the data within the primary data cache based on the atomic operation.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a method is provided. The method includes managing user-level threads on a first instruction sequencer in response to executing user-level instructions on a second instruction sequencer that is under control of an application level program. A first user-level thread is run on the second instruction sequencer and contains one or more user level instructions. A first user level instruction has at least 1) a field that makes reference to one or more instruction sequencers or 2) implicitly references with a pointer to code that specifically addresses one or more instruction sequencers when the code is executed.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed to improve FPGA pipeline emulation efficiency on CPUs. An example disclosed apparatus includes a loop detector to identify a register shift loop in field programmable gate array (FPGA) code, an unroller to shift and store pipeline stages in the register shift loop to a temporary unroll array, an intermediate canceller to cancel out intermediate load and store values of the temporary unroll array to retain last shifted values of the pipeline stages, and a propagator to improve emulation efficiency of the FPGA code by generating a scalar loop of the retained last shifted values for a vectorization input.

Abstract: Method, apparatus, and program means for a programmable event driven yield mechanism that may activate other threads. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes execution resources to execute a plurality of instructions and a monitor to detect a condition indicating a low level of progress. The monitor can disrupt processing of a program by transferring to a handler in response to detecting the condition indicating a low level of progress. In another embodiment, thread switch logic may be coupled to a plurality of event monitors which monitor events within the multithreading execution logic. The thread switch logic switches threads based at least partially on a programmable condition of one or more of the performance monitors.
