Abstract: Examples include techniques for an in-network acceleration of a parallel prefix-scan operation. Examples include configuring registers of a node included in a plurality of nodes on a same semiconductor package. The registers to be configured responsive to receiving an instruction that indicates a logical tree to map to a network topology that includes the node. The instruction associated with a prefix-scan operation to be executed by at least a portion of the plurality of nodes.

Abstract: Disclosed embodiments relate to an improved memory system architecture for multi-threaded processors. In one example, a system includes a system comprising a multi-threaded processor core (MTPC), the MTPC comprising: P pipelines, each to concurrently process T threads; a crossbar to communicatively couple the P pipelines; a memory for use by the P pipelines, a scheduler to optimize reduction operations by assigning multiple threads to generate results of commutative arithmetic operations, and then accumulate the generated results, and a memory controller (MC) to connect with external storage and other MTPCs, the MC further comprising at least one optimization selected from: an instruction set architecture including a dual-memory operation; a direct memory access (DMA) engine; a buffer to store multiple pending instruction cache requests; multiple channels across which to stripe memory requests; and a shadow-tag coherency management unit.
