    Abstract: 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.

    Abstract: An embodiment of an integrated circuit may comprise a core, a first level core cache memory coupled to the core, a shared core cache memory coupled to the core, a first cache controller coupled to the core and communicatively coupled to the first level core cache memory, a second cache controller coupled to the core and communicatively coupled to the shared core cache memory, and circuitry coupled to the core and communicatively coupled to the first cache controller and the second cache controller to determine if a workload has a large code footprint, and, if so determined, partition N ways of the shared core cache memory into first and second chunks of ways with the first chunk of M ways reserved for code cache lines from the workload and the second chunk of N minus M ways reserved for data cache lines from the workload, where N and M are positive integer values and N minus M is greater than zero. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
