  • Patent number: 11204765
    Abstract: A graphics processing unit (GPU) utilizes block general purpose registers (bGPRs) to load multiple waves of samples for an instruction group into a processing pipeline and receive processed samples from the pipeline. The GPU acquires a credit for the bGPR for execution of the instruction group for a first wave using a persistent GPR and the bGPR. The GPU refunds the credit upon loading the first wave into the pipeline. The GPU executes a subsequent wave for the instruction group to load samples to the pipeline when at least one credit is available and the pipeline is processing the first wave. The GPU stores an indication of each wave that has been loaded into the pipeline in a queue. The GPU returns samples for a next wave in the queue from the pipeline to the bGPR for further processing when the physical slot of the bGPR is available.
