    摘要: An apparatus and method are described for providing low-latency invocation of accelerators. For example, a processor according to one embodiment comprises: a command register for storing command data identifying a command to be executed; a result register to store a result of the command or data indicating a reason why the commend could not be executed; execution logic to execute a plurality of instructions including an accelerator invocation instruction to invoke one or more accelerator commands, the accelerator invocation instruction to store command data specifying the command within the command register; one or more accelerators to read the command data from the command register and responsively attempt to execute the command identified by the command data, wherein if the one or more accelerators successfully execute the command, the one or more accelerators are to store result data comprising the results of the command in the result register; and if the one or more accelerators cannot successfully execute the command, the one or more accelerators are to store result data indicating a reason why the command cannot be executed, wherein the execution logic is to temporarily halt execution until the accelerator completes execution or is interrupted, wherein the accelerator includes logic to store its state if interrupted so that it can continue execution at a later time.

    摘要: A processor comprising: execution logic to execute a first thread including an accelerator invocation instruction to invoke an accelerator command; an accelerator to execute an accelerator thread in response to the accelerator command, the accelerator to store state data associated with the accelerator thread in a application memory area in memory, wherein prior to executing the accelerator thread, the accelerator is to lock entries in a translation lookaside buffer (TLB) associated with the accelerator thread to prevent an exception which might otherwise result.
