  • Loop pipelining semantics using structured control flow (SCF) operations with explicitly passed-in asynchronous tokens
    Patent number: 12737166
    Abstract: A method includes a method includes receiving, by a compiler of a host of a computing system, input code, generating, by the compiler, pipelined input code by adding first tokens in a loop iteration argument field of a loop in the input code to pipeline the loop, the first tokens configured to sequentialize and serialize loop operations, a quantity of the first tokens based on a quantity of pipeline stages, and providing, by the host, the pipelined input code to a controller of an integrated circuit (IC) of the computing system.
