Abstract
Devices and methods for partial sorting for coherence recovery are provided. The partial sorting is efficiently executed by utilizing existing hardware along the memory path (e.g., memory local to the compute unit). The devices include an accelerated processing device which comprises memory and a processor. The processor is, for example, a compute unit of a GPU which comprises a plurality of SIMD units and is configured to determine, for data entries each comprising a plurality of bits, a number of occurrences of different types of the data entries by storing the number of occurrences in one or more portions of the memory local to the processor, sort the data entries based on the determined number of occurrences stored in the one or more portions of the memory local to the processor and execute the sorted data entries.
