Abstract
The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatus for mapping a source location of input data for processing by a graphics processing unit. The apparatus can configure a processing element of the graphics processing unit with a predefined rule for decoding a data source parameter for executing a task by the graphics processing unit. Moreover, the apparatus can store the parameter in local storage of the processing element and configure the processing element to decode the parameter according to the at least one predefined rule to determine a source location of the input data and at least one relationship between invocations of the task. The apparatus can also load, to the local storage of the processing element, the input data from a plurality of memory addresses of the source location determined by the parameter. A one logic unit can then execute the task on the loaded input data.
