One embodiment of the present disclosure sets forth an effective way to maintain fairness and order in the scheduling of common resource access requests related to replay operations. Specifically, a streaming multiprocessor (SM) includes a total order queue (TOQ) configured to schedule the access requests over one or more execution cycles. Access requests are allowed to make forward progress when needed common resources have been allocated to the request. Where multiple access requests require the same common resource, priority is given to the older access request. Access requests may be placed in a sleep state pending availability of certain common resources. Deadlock may be avoided by allowing an older access request to steal resources from a younger resource request. One advantage of the disclosed technique is that older common resource access requests are not repeatedly blocked from making forward progress by newer access requests.

One embodiment of the present disclosure sets forth an optimized way to execute pre-scheduled replay operations for divergent operations in a parallel processing subsystem. Specifically, a streaming multiprocessor (SM) includes a multi-stage pipeline configured to insert pre-scheduled replay operations into a multi-stage pipeline. A pre-scheduled replay unit detects whether the operation associated with the current instruction is accessing a common resource. If the threads are accessing data which are distributed across multiple cache lines, then the pre-scheduled replay unit inserts pre-scheduled replay operations behind the current instruction. The multi-stage pipeline executes the instruction and the associated pre-scheduled replay operations sequentially. If additional threads remain unserviced after execution of the instruction and the pre-scheduled replay operations, then additional replay operations are inserted via the replay loop, until all threads are serviced. One advantage of the disclosed technique is that divergent operations requiring one or more replay operations execute with reduced latency.

One embodiment sets forth a technique for N-way memory barrier operation coalescing. When a first memory barrier is received for a first thread group execution of subsequent memory operations for the first thread group are suspended until the first memory barrier is executed. Subsequent memory barriers for different thread groups may be coalesced with the first memory barrier to produce a coalesced memory barrier that represents memory barrier operations for multiple thread groups. When the coalesced memory barrier is being processed, execution of subsequent memory operations for the different thread groups is also suspended. However, memory operations for other thread groups that are not affected by the coalesced memory barrier may be executed.

A method for managing a parallel cache hierarchy in a processing unit. The method including receiving an instruction that includes a cache operations modifier that identifies a level of the parallel cache hierarchy in which to cache data associated with the instruction; and implementing a cache replacement policy based on the cache operations modifier.
