Latest Patents

Bansal is named on 1 patent: “Granular Source Read Scheduling for Instruction Execution.” The patent describes techniques for accessing source data in single-instruction multiple-thread (SIMT) pipelines. It covers operand resource circuits, per-resource arbitration among SIMT execution slots, and source access circuitry that retrieves operand data in response to capture commands. The disclosed approach allows a source capture command to be sent when a SIMT group wins arbitration for an operand resource, before it has won arbitration for all its operands. An instruction release command is sent once the group wins arbitration for all its operands.

Career Highlights

Bansal’s listed patent reflects work on coordinating operand access and instruction scheduling in processor pipelines. The disclosed techniques address how SIMT groups obtain operands and proceed through instruction execution.

Collaborations

Bansal’s listed coworkers include David K. Li and Ana Lucia Rescala Loper. The patent information provided does not specify their individual contributions or roles.

Conclusion

Arun Bansal’s patent focuses on granular source-read scheduling for SIMT instruction execution, highlighting his contribution to processor pipeline design.
