Abstract
Techniques are provided for restoring threads within a processing core. The techniques include, for a first thread group included in a plurality of thread groups, executing a context restore routine to restore from a memory a first portion of a context associated with the first thread group, determining whether the first thread group completed an assigned function, and, if the first thread group completed the assigned function, then exiting the context restore routine, or if the first thread group did not complete the assigned function, then executing one or more operations associated with a trap handler routine.
