摘要:
A processor with on-chip memory including a plurality of physical memory banks is disclosed. The processor includes a method, and corresponding apparatus, of enabling multi-access to the plurality of physical memory banks. The method comprises selecting a subset of multiple access requests to be executed in at least one clock cycle over at least one of a number of access ports connected to the plurality of physical memory banks, the selected subset of access requests addressed to different physical memory banks, among the plurality of memory banks, and scheduling the selected subset of access requests, each over a separate access port.

A method, and corresponding apparatus, of managing processing thread migrations within a plurality of memory clusters, includes embedding, in memory components of the plurality of memory clusters, instructions indicative of processing thread migrations; storing, in one or more memory components of a particular memory cluster among the plurality of memory clusters, data configured to designate the particular memory cluster as a sink memory cluster, the sink memory cluster preventing an incoming migrated processing thread from migrating out of the sink memory cluster; and processing one or more processing threads, in one or more of the plurality of memory clusters, in accordance with at least one of the embedded migration instructions and the data stored in the one or more memory components of the sink memory cluster.
摘要:
In one embodiment, a processor includes processing cores, and instruction stores storing instructions at least one instructions having a group number, each instruction store having a unique identifier. The processor also includes a group execution matrix having group execution masks and a store execution matrix having store execution masks. The processor further includes a core selection unit that, for each instruction, selects a store execution mask using the unique identifier as an index. The core selection unit for each instruction, selects at least one group execution mask using the group number as an index, and performs logic operations on the selected group execution mask and the store execution mask to create a core request mask. The processor also includes an arbitration unit that determines instruction priority, assigns an instruction for each available core, and signals the instruction store of the assigned instruction to send the assigned instruction to the available core.
