Abstract: An apparatus to facilitate watchpoints for debugging in a graphics environment is disclosed. The apparatus includes processing resources to perform graphics operations using a plurality of threads; and load store pipeline hardware circuitry coupled to the processing resources to: configure a watchpoint register with a value of a watchpoint address, the watchpoint address comprising an address of a memory location in the processor; receive a memory access request from a thread of the plurality of threads; determine, using the watchpoint register, whether the memory access request is requesting access to the watchpoint address; and responsive to the memory access request requesting access to the watchpoint address, return an exception payload to the thread, the exception payload comprising watchpoint details corresponding to the watchpoint address and a scoreboard identifier (SBID) associated with the memory access request.

Abstract: An apparatus to facilitate exception handling for debugging in a graphics environment is disclosed. The apparatus includes load store pipeline hardware circuitry to: in response to a page fault exception being enabled for a memory access request received from a thread of the plurality of threads, allocate a memory dependency token correlated to a scoreboard identifier (SBID) that is included with the memory access request; send, to memory fabric of the graphics processor, the memory access request comprising the memory dependency token; receive, from the memory fabric in response to the memory access request, a memory access response comprising the memory dependency token and indicating occurrence of a page fault error condition and fault details associated with the page fault error condition; and return the SBID associated with the memory access response and fault details of the page fault error condition to a debug register of the thread.
