Abstract
An apparatus and method for offloading iterative, parallel work to a data parallel cluster. For example, one embodiment of a processor comprises: a host processor to execute a primary thread; a data parallel cluster coupled to the host processor over a high speed interconnect, the data parallel cluster comprising a plurality of execution lanes to perform parallel execution of one or more secondary threads related to the primary thread; and a data parallel cluster controller integral to the host processor to offload processing of the one or more secondary threads to the data parallel cluster in response to one of the cores executing a parallel processing call instruction from the primary thread.
