摘要:
A method, system, and computer program product are disclosed for providing improved access to accelerated processing device compute resources to user mode applications. The functionality disclosed allows user mode applications to provide commands to an accelerated processing device without the need for kernel mode transitions in order to access a unified ring buffer. Instead, applications are each provided with their own buffers, which the accelerated processing device hardware can access to process commands. With full operating system support, user mode applications are able to utilize the accelerated processing device in much the same way as a CPU.

摘要:
A method for executing processes within a computer system is provided. The method includes determining when to switch from a first process, executing within the computer system, to executing another process. Execution of the first process corresponds to a computer system storage location. The method also includes switching to executing the other process based upon a time quantum and resuming execution of the first process after the time quantum has lapsed, the resuming corresponding to the storage location.

Embodiments describe herein provide a method of for managing task scheduling on a accelerated processing device. The method includes executing a first task within the accelerated processing device (APD), monitoring for an interruption of the execution of the first task, and switching to a second task when an interruption is detected.
摘要:
A method resumes an accelerated processing device (APD) wavefront in which a subset of elements have faulted. A restore command for a job including a wavefront is received. A list of context states for the wavefront is read from a memory associated with a APD. An empty shell wavefront is created for restoring the list of context states. A portion of not acknowledged data is masked over a portion of acknowledged data within the restored wavefronts.
摘要:
A method tolerates virtual to physical address translation failures. A translation request is sent from a graphics processing device to a translation mechanism. The translation request is associated with a first wavefront. A fault notification is received within an accelerated processing device (APD) from the translation mechanism that a request cannot be acknowledged. The first wavefront is, stored within a shader core of the APD if the fault notification is received. The first wavefront is replaced with a second wavefront if the fault notification is received, the second wavefront being ready to be executed.

摘要:
Embodiments of the present invention provide a method of synchronous operation of a first processing device and a second processing device. The method includes executing a process on the first processing device, responsive to a determination that execution of the process on the first device has reached a serial-parallel boundary, passing an execution thread of the process from the first processing device to the second processing device, and executing the process on the second processing device.
摘要:
A method of processing commands is provided. The method includes holding commands in queues and executing the commands in an order based on their respective priority. Commands having the same priority are held in the same queue.
