Abstract
A technique for synchronizing workgroups is provided. The techniques comprise detecting that one or more non-executing workgroups are ready to execute, placing the one or more non-executing workgroups into one or more ready queues based on the synchronization status of the one or more workgroups, detecting that computing resources are available for execution of one or more ready workgroups, and scheduling for execution one or more ready workgroups from the one or more ready queues in an order that is based on the relative priority of the ready queues.
