Abstract: A system and method for binding instructions to a graphical processing unit (GPU) includes a GPU configured to receive bindlessly compiled instructions and interpret the bindlessly compiled instruction at runtime to identify a needed conversion The GPU generates a conversion information based on the bindlessly compiled instruction and needed conversion and converts the bindlessly compiled instruction according to the conversion information to generate a bound format instruction. The GPU may then execute the bound format instruction.

Abstract: A graphics processing unit may include a register file memory, a processing element (PE) and a load-store unit (LSU). The register file memory includes a plurality of registers. The PE is coupled to the register file memory and processes at least one thread of a vector of threads of a graphical application. Each thread in the vector of threads are processed in a non-stalling manner. The PE stores data in a first predetermined set of the plurality of registers in the register file memory that has been generated by processing the at least one thread and that is to be routed to a first stallable logic unit that is external to the PE. The LSU is coupled to the register file memory, and the LSU accesses the data in the first predetermined set of the plurality of registers and routes to the first stallable logic unit.
