Abstract: Selectively bypassing cache directory lookups for processing-in-memory instructions is described. In one example, a system maintains information describing a status—clean or dirty—of a memory address, where a dirty status indicates that the memory address is modified in a cache and thus different than the memory address as represented in system memory. A processing-in-memory request involving the memory address is assigned a cache directory bypass bit based on the status of the memory address. The cache directory bypass bit for a processing-in-memory request controls whether a cache directory lookup is performed after the processing-in-memory request is issued by a processor core and before the processing-in-memory request is executed by a processing-in-memory component.

Abstract: Systems and methods related to priority-based and performance-based selection of a render mode, such as a two-level binning mode, in which to execute workloads with a graphics processing unit (GPU) of a system are provided. A user mode driver (UMD) or kernel mode driver (KMD) executed at a central processing unit (CPU) configures low and medium priority workloads to be executed in a two-level binning mode and selects a binning mode for high priority workloads based on whether performance heuristics indicate that one or more binning conditions or override conditions have been met. High priority workloads are maintained in a high priority queue, while low and medium priority workloads are maintained in a low/medium priority queue, such that execution of low and medium priority workloads at the GPU can be preempted in favor of executing high priority workloads.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for achieving higher cache hit rates for machine learning models are disclosed. When a processor executes a given layer of a machine learning model, the processor generates and stores activation data in a cache subsystem a forward or reverse manner. Typically, the entirety of the activation data does not fit in the cache subsystem. The processor records the order in which activation data is generated for the given layer. Next, when the processor initiates execution of a subsequent layer of the machine learning model, the processor processes the previous layer's activation data in a reverse order from how the activation data was generated. In this way, the processor alternates how the layers of the machine learning model process data by either starting from the front end or starting from the back end of the array.

Abstract: An approach is provided for processing near-memory processing commands, e.g., PIM commands, using PIM register definition data that defines multiple combinations of source and/or destination registers to be used to process PIM commands. A particular combination of source and/or destination registers to be used to process a PIM command is specified by the PIM command or determined by a near-memory processing element processing the PIM command. According to another implementation, the PIM register definition data specifies an initial combination of source and/or destination registers and one or more update functions for each PIM command. A near-memory processing element processes a PIM command using the initial combination of source and/or destination registers and uses the one or more update functions to update the combination of source and/or destination registers to be used the next time the PIM command is processed.
