Abstract
According to some embodiments, the workgroup divisibility requirement may be dispensed with on a selective or permanent basis, i.e. in all cases, particular cases or at particular times and/or under particular conditions. An application programming interface implementation may be allowed to launch workgroups with non-uniform local sizes. Two different local sizes may be used in a case of a one-dimensional workload.
Claims28
A method comprising:
- enabling the use of different workgroup sizes in a computer processor.
One or more non-transitory computer readable media storing computer instructions executable to perform a sequence comprising:
- identifying a workgroup size;
- and
- adopting different workgroup sizes.
An apparatus comprising:
- a graphics processor that uses different workgroup sizes;
- and
- a memory coupled to said processor.
Dependencies are inferred from the claim text.
