Optimizing communication of system call requests

A method, executed in a computer system having at least one processor, comprising:

• receiving a single instructor multiple data CSIMD) vector, wherein the SIMD vector comprises SIMD elements corresponding to a system call request from each work item in a wavefront;
• executing each system call request in each SIMD element;
• and
• transmitting, via the SIMD vector, the result of each system call to each work item in the wavefront.

A system comprising:

• a memory configured to store, in a corresponding single instructor multiple data (SIMD), element, information to process a system call request for each work item in a wavefront, wherein the SIMD elements are grouped as an SIMD vector;
• and
• a CPU configured to:
• execute each system call request stored in the SIMD elements, and
• transmit a result of each system call request to each work item in the wavefront.

A system, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• a CPU configured to:
• receive a single instruction multiple data (SIMD) vector, wherein the SIMD vector includes SIMD elements containing information to process a corresponding system call request for each work item in a wavefront,
• execute each system call stored in the SIMD vector, and
• transmit the result of each system call to each work item in the wavefront.

An article of manufacture including a computer storage device having instructions stored thereon that, when executed by a computing device, cause said computing device to perform operations comprising:

• storing, in a corresponding single instructor multiple data (SIMD) element, information to process a system call request for each work item in a wavefront;
• grouping the SIMD elements as an SIMD vector to create a system call request data structure;
• transmitting the SIMD vector to a processor for execution;
• and
• receiving a result to each work item in the wavefront.

A computer storage device having instructions recorded thereon that, when executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perforin operations comprising:

• storing, in a corresponding single instructor multiple data (SIMD) element, information to process a system call request for each work item in a wavefront;
• transmitting said stored system calls, via an SIMD vector, to a processor for execution, wherein the SIMD vector comprises the SIMD elements grouped as a single data structure;
• and
• responsive to said transmitting, receiving a result to each work item in the wavefront.
