Abstract
A compiler parses a multithreaded application into cohesive blocks of instructions. Cohesive blocks include instructions that do not diverge or converge. Each cohesive block is associated with one or more uniform registers. When a set of threads executes the instructions in a given cohesive block, each thread in the set may access the uniform register independently of the other threads in the set. Accordingly, the uniform register may store a single copy of data on behalf of all threads in the set of threads, thereby conserving resources.
