Abstract: In a ray tracer, to prevent any long-running query from hanging the graphics processing unit, a traversal coprocessor provides a preemption mechanism that will allow rays to stop processing or time out early. The example non-limiting implementations described herein provide such a preemption mechanism, including a forward progress guarantee, and additional programmable timeout options that can be time or cycle based. Those programmable options provide a means for quality of service timing guarantees for applications such as virtual reality (VR) that have strict timing requirements.

Abstract: A disaggregated processor package can be configured to accept interchangeable chiplets. Interchangeability is enabled by specifying a standard physical interconnect for chiplets that can enable the chiplet to interface with a fabric or bridge interconnect. Chiplets from different IP designers can conform to the common interconnect, enabling such chiplets to be interchangeable during assembly. The fabric and bridge interconnects logic on the chiplet can then be configured to confirm with the actual interconnect layout of the on-board logic of the chiplet. Additionally, data from chiplets can be transmitted across an inter-chiplet fabric using encapsulation, such that the actual data being transferred is opaque to the fabric, further enable interchangeability of the individual chiplets. With such an interchangeable design, higher or lower density memory can be inserted into memory chiplet slots, while compute or graphics chiplets with a higher or lower core count can be inserted into logic chiplet slots.
