Abstract
A computing device operative to perform parallel computations. The computing device includes a controller unit to assign workgroups to a set of batches. Each batch includes a program counter shared by M workgroups assigned to the batch, where M is a positive integer determined according to a configurable batch setting. Each batch further includes a set of thread processing units operative to execute, in parallel, a subset of work items in each of the M workgroups. Each batch further includes a spilling memory to store intermediate data of the M workgroups when one or more workgroups in the M workgroups encounters a synchronization barrier.
