Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, and methods for efficient parallel execution of multiple work units in a processor by reducing a number of memory accesses are disclosed. A computing system includes a processor core with a parallel data architecture. One or more of a software application and firmware implement matrix operations and support the broadcast of shared data to multiple compute units of the processor core. The application creates thread groups by matching compute kernels of the application with data items, and grouping the resulting work units into thread groups. The application assigns the thread groups to compute units based on detecting shared data among the compute units. Rather than send multiple read access to a memory subsystem for the shared data, a single access request is generated. The single access request includes information to identify the multiple compute units for receiving the shared data when broadcasted.
