Patent number: 10067768Abstract: A method, system, and computer program product for executing divergent threads using a convergence barrier are disclosed. A first instruction in a program is executed by a plurality of threads, where the first instruction, when executed by a particular thread, indicates to a scheduler unit that the thread participates in a convergence barrier. A first path through the program is executed by a first divergent portion of the participating threads and a second path through the program is executed by a second divergent portion of the participating threads. The first divergent portion of the participating threads executes a second instruction in the program and transitions to a blocked state at the convergence barrier. The scheduler unit determines that all of the participating threads are synchronized at the convergence barrier and the convergence barrier is cleared.Type: GrantFiled: July 13, 2015Date of Patent: September 4, 2018Assignee: NVIDIA CORPORATIONInventors: Gregory Frederick Diamos, Richard Craig Johnson, Vinod Grover, Olivier Giroux, Jack H.

Patent number: 9817378Abstract: A handheld controller interface device that receives communications from one or more components of an HVAC system. The controller interface device is removably secured to an enclosure of the HVAC system. When not being engaged by a user, the controller user interface may be secured within the enclosure in a mounted position. When the HVAC system is being serviced, the controller user interface may be removed from the enclosure so as to be in an unmounted position. Further, when in the unmounted position, the controller interface device still at least receives communications from one or more components of the HVAC system, including, for example, a controller.Type: GrantFiled: September 8, 2014Date of Patent: November 14, 2017Inventors: Richard Craig St. Mars, Bryan Richard Teichgraeber, Arvind Chitrala, Ray Weaver

Patent number: 9519947Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for a program to access multi-dimensional formatted graphics surface memory. Multi-dimensional memory objects called “surfaces” stored in a user-specified data or pixel format and arranged in a graphics optimized layout are accessed by programs using surface instructions. A set of memory access instructions e.g., load, store, reduce, and atomic, referred to as surface instructions, may be used to access the surfaces. Coordinate bounds checking is performed with configurable clamping. Caching behavior may also be specified by the surface instructions. Data format conversion and packing to a specified storage format is supported for store, reduction, and atomic surface instructions. Data format conversion and unpacking from a specified storage format is supported for loads and atomic surface instructions.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2010Date of Patent: December 13, 2016Assignee: NVIDIA CorporationInventors: John R.
