    摘要: A processing unit is configured to access a first memory that supports atomic operations and a second memory via an interface. The second memory or the interface does not support atomicity of the atomic operations. A trap handler is configured to trap atomic operations and enforce atomicity of the trapped atomic operations. The processing unit selectively provides atomic operations to the trap handler in response to detecting that memory access requests in the atomic operations are directed to the second memory via the interface. In some cases, the processing unit detects a frequency of traps that result from atomic operations that include memory access requests to a page stored in the second memory. The processing unit transfers the page from the second memory to the first memory in response to the trap frequency exceeding a threshold.

    摘要: A memory controller includes a host interface for receiving memory access requests including access addresses, a memory interface for providing memory accesses to a memory system, and an address decoder coupled to the host interface for programmably mapping the access addresses to selected ones of a plurality of regions. The address decoder is programmable to map the access addresses to a first region having a non-power-of-two size using a primary decoder and a secondary decoder each having power-of-two sizes, and providing a first region mapping signal in response. A command queue stores the memory access requests and region mapping signals. An arbiter picks the memory access requests from the command queue based on a plurality of criteria, which are evaluated based in part on the region mapping signals, and provides corresponding memory accesses to the memory interface in response.

    摘要: A system, method and a computer program product are provided for hybrid rendering with deferred primitive batch binning. A primitive batch is generated from a sequence of primitives. Initial bin intercepts are identified for primitives in the primitive batch. A bin for processing is identified. The bin corresponds to a region of a screen space. Pixels of the primitives intercepting the identified bin are processed. Next bin intercepts are identified while the primitives intercepting the identified bin are processed.

    摘要: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for maintaining separate pending load and store counters are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, a system includes at least one execution unit, a memory subsystem, and a pair of counters for each thread of execution. In one embodiment, the system implements a software based approach for managing dependencies between instructions. In one embodiment, the execution unit(s) maintains counters to support the software-based approach for managing dependencies between instructions. The execution unit(s) are configured to execute instructions that are used to manage the dependencies during run-time. In one embodiment, the execution unit(s) execute wait instructions to wait until a given counter is equal to a specified value before continuing to execute the instruction sequence.
