Node Topology Employing Recirculating Ring Command and Data Buffers for Executing Thread Scheduling

A system encoded as a set of machine-readable instructions stored on non-transitory machine-readable media, the system to employ re-circulating ring buffers to reduce computing power, said system further comprising instructions for implementing:

• at least a set of logical nodes, wherein said logical nodes are processed by a plurality of stages, connected together in an arbitrary topology;
• at least one recirculating ring buffer residing in an on-chip cache, said at least one recirculating ring buffer further comprising any one of at least a control information, input and, or out data delivering temporary data between a stage and, or a logical node in an execution graph, such that any one of the control information, input, and, or out data between logical nodes need not be stored in memory;
• an on-chip buffer management module, said on-chip buffer management module comprising a write pointer queue and a read pointer queue coupled via a cache gauge, thereby managing buffer content and traffic;
• and
• based on the write pointer queue updates, direct compute resources to prepare for a data producer stall and, or buffer clear.

A non-transitory, machine-readable media, for re-configuring a machine for increased efficiency in processing flow comprising steps of:

• reducing compute resources via a plurality of logical nodes being processed on plurality of stages, with defined properties and resources associated with each logical node;
• reducing a size of a recirculating ring buffer by having the recirculating ring buffer hold only any one of a control information, input, and, or out data necessary to stream a temporary data between logical nodes in an execution graph;
• residing said recirculating ring buffer in an on-chip cache, such that any one of the control information, input, and, or out data between nodes need not be stored in memory;
• invalidating any one of the inputs and, or out data held in a recirculating ring data buffer, clearing the buffer of tasked data;
• and
• stalling a data producer of the machine from writing any more control information into a recirculating ring command buffer upon the buffer being full, preventing command buffer over-writing.
