Abstract:
A system and method to select a packet format based on a number of executed threads is disclosed. In a particular embodiment, a method includes determining, at a multi-threaded processor, a number of threads of a plurality of threads executing during a time period. A packet format is determined from a plurality of formats based at least in part on the determined number of threads. Data associated with execution of an instruction by a particular thread is stored in accordance with the selected format in a memory (e.g., a buffer).
