    摘要: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for migrating execution contexts are disclosed. A system includes a plurality of processing units and memory devices. The system is configured to execute any number of software applications. The system is configured to detect, within a first software application, a primitive for migrating at least a portion of the execution context of a source processing unit to a target processing unit, wherein the primitive includes one or more instructions. The execution context includes a plurality of registers. A first processing unit is configured to execute the one or more instructions of the primitive to cause a portion of an execution context of the first processing unit to be migrated to a second processing unit. In one embodiment, executing the primitive instruction(s) causes an instruction pointer value, with an optional offset value, to be sent to the second processing unit.

    摘要: A processing system includes a processing module having a first interface coupleable to an interconnect. The first interface includes a first cryptologic engine to encrypt a representation of store data of a store operation and a memory address using a first key and a first feedback-based cryptologic process to generate first encrypted data and an encrypted memory address. A memory module includes a second interface coupled to the interconnect. The second interface includes a second cryptologic engine to decrypt the first encrypted data and the encrypted memory address using a second key and a second feedback-based cryptologic process to generate a copy of the representation of the store data and a copy of the memory address. The second interface further is to store the copy of the representation of the store data to a memory location of the memory core based on the copy of the memory address.

    摘要: Methods and mechanisms for managing data in a hash table are disclosed. A computing system includes a hash table configured to store data and hash management logic. In response to receiving a request to insert data into the hash table, the hash management logic is configured to generate a first hash value by applying a first hash function to the key of the key-value pair, and identify a first bucket within the hash table that corresponds to the first hash table. If the first bucket has a slot available, store the key-value pair in the slot. If the first bucket does not have a slot available, select a first slot of the first bucket for conversion to a remap entry, store the key-value pair in a second bucket, and store information associating the key-value pair with the second bucket in the remap entry.

    摘要: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing mechanisms to improve data locality for distributed processing units are disclosed. A system includes a plurality of distributed processing units (e.g., GPUs) and memory devices. Each processing unit is coupled to one or more local memory devices. The system determines how to partition a workload into a plurality of workgroups based on maximizing data locality and data sharing. The system determines which subset of the plurality of workgroups to dispatch to each processing unit of the plurality of processing units based on maximizing local memory accesses and minimizing remote memory accesses. The system also determines how to partition data buffer(s) based on data sharing patterns of the workgroups. The system maps to each processing unit a separate portion of the data buffer(s) so as to maximize local memory accesses and minimize remote memory accesses.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for performing a search in a processor-in-memory (PIM) system having a first processor and at least one memory module includes receiving one or more images by the first processor. The first processor sends a query for a search of memory for a matching image to the one or more images to at least one memory module, which searches memory in the memory module, in response to the received query. The at least one memory module sends the results of the search to the first processor, and the first processor performs a comparison of the received results from the at least one memory module to the received one or more images.
