Remote scoped synchronization for work stealing and sharing

A method for remote scoped synchronization, the method comprising:

• instantiating a first scope instance for a first scope;
• instantiating a second scope instance for a second scope, wherein the first scope instance and the second scope instance are hierarchically unconnected at a respective scope level, and
• remotely accessing and synchronizing the first scope instance with the second scope instance by a work-item executing in the first scope,
• wherein the work-item is configured to precisely name the second scope instance.

A processing system, comprising:

• a plurality of scopes, each scope having a scope instance, wherein each of the scope instances are hierarchically out-of-scope with respect to each of the other scope instances;
• a processor;
• and
• a memory communicatively coupled to the processor, wherein the processor executes a work-item in one of the plurality of scopes, wherein the work-item is configured to remotely access at least one target scope instance from a remaining ones of the plurality of scopes, and
• wherein the work-item is configured to perform one of:
• precisely name the at least one target scope instance, imprecisely name the at least one target scope instance, use context and scope level to name the at least one target scope instance, and use scope identification to name the at least one target scope instance.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing a set of instructions for execution by a general purpose computer to perform remote scope synchronization in a processor, comprising:

• an instantiating code segment for instantiating a first scope instance for a first scope;
• and
• an instantiating code segment for instantiating a second scope instance for a second scope, wherein the first scope instance and the second scope instance are hierarchically unconnected at a respective scope level, and
• a remote accessing and synchronizing code segment for remotely accessing and synchronizing the first scope instance with the second scope instance by a work-item executing in the first scope,
• wherein the work-item is configured to perform one of:
• precisely name the second scope instance, imprecisely name the second scope instance, use context and scope level to name the second scope instance, or use scope identification to name the second scope instance.
