Abstract: Apparatus and method for improved cache utilization and efficiency on a many-core processor. An apparatus comprising: a plurality of execution units to generate cache access requests responsive to executing instructions; a pending request queue to store pending cache access requests generated by the execution units; pending queue management circuitry to compare a current cache access request with entries in the pending request queue to determine whether the current cache access request can be merged with an entry in the pending request queue and, if so, to merge the current cache access request with the entry.

Abstract: A mechanism is described to facilitate microcontroller-based flexible thread scheduling launching in computing environments. An apparatus of embodiments, as described herein, includes facilitating a graphics processor hosting a microcontroller having a thread scheduling unit, and detection and observation logic to detect a scheduling algorithm associated with an application at the apparatus. The apparatus may further include reading and dispatching logic to facilitate the microcontroller to prepare a flexible dispatch routine based on the scheduling algorithm. The apparatus may further include scheduling and launching logic to facilitate the thread scheduling unit to dynamically schedule and launch threads based on the flexible dispatch routine, where the threads are hosted by the graphics processor.
