Abstract: Example techniques are described for generating graphics content by obtaining texture operation instructions corresponding to a texture operation, in response to determining at least one of insufficient general purpose register space is available for the texture operation or insufficient wave slots are available for the texture operation, generating an indication that the texture operation corresponds to a deferred wave, executing the texture operation, sending, to a texture processor, initial texture sample instructions corresponding to the texture operation that was executed, and receiving texture mapped data corresponding to the initial texture sample instructions.

Abstract: Techniques are described to perform a shuffle operation. Rather than using an all-lane to all-lane cross bar, a shuffler circuit having a smaller cross bar is described. The shuffler circuit performs the shuffle operation piecewise by reordering data received from processing lanes and outputting the reordered data.

Abstract: Systems and techniques are disclosed for general purpose register dynamic allocation based on latency associated with of instructions in processor threads. A streaming processor can include a general purpose registers configured to stored data associated with threads, and a thread scheduler configured to receive allocation information for the general purpose registers, the information describing general purpose registers that are to be assigned as persistent general purpose registers (pGPRs) and volatile general purpose registers (vGPRs). The plurality of general purpose registers can be allocated according to the received information. The streaming processor can include the general purpose registers allocated according to the received information, the allocated based on execution latencies of instructions included in the threads.

Abstract: In an example, a method of transferring data may include synchronizing work-items corresponding to a first subgroup and work-items corresponding to a second subgroup with a barrier. The method may include performing an inter-subgroup data transfer between the first subgroup and the second subgroup.

Abstract: An over-temperature protection system has a control board mounted in a charging device and a temperature sensor mounted in a charging plug. A switch is coupled on a power circuit of the charging plug and controlled by the control board. When the charging plug is connected to a power supply and the charging device begins a charging operation, the control board periodically receives temperature information of the charging plug sensed by the temperature sensor. When the control board determines that the temperature of the charging plug is abnormal, the switch is open to interrupt the power circuit so as to stop the charging operation for ensuring safety of the charging device.

Abstract: A SIMD processor may be configured to determine one or more active threads from a plurality of threads, select one active thread from the one or more active threads, and perform a divergent operation on the selected active thread. The divergent operation may be a serial operation.

A processing unit avoids storing the intermediate value in the GPR based on the indication because the intermediate value is no longer needed for determining the final value.

Abstract: Techniques are described for determining whether execution of an instruction would require reading more values from a memory cell of a general purpose register (GPR) than a read port of the memory cell would allow. In such a case, the techniques may store, prior to execution of the instruction, one or more values from the memory cell in a separate conflict queue. During execution of the instruction to implement an operation defined by the instruction, one value that is an operand of the operation would be read from the memory cell and another value that is an operand of the operation other would be read from the conflict queue.
