  • Interlocked increment memory allocation and access
    Patent number: 9529632
    Abstract: A method of allocating a memory to a plurality of concurrent threads is presented. The method includes dynamically determining writer threads each having at least one pending write to the memory; and dynamically allocating respective contiguous blocks in the memory for each of the writer threads. Another method of allocating a memory to a plurality of concurrent threads includes launching the plurality of threads as a plurality of wavefronts, dynamically determining a group of wavefronts each having at least one thread requiring a write to the memory, and dynamically allocating respective contiguous blocks in the memory for each wavefront from the group of wavefronts.
