Abstract
Devices and techniques for parking threads in a barrel processor for managing hazard clearing are described herein. A barrel processor includes hazard management circuitry that is used to receive an indication of an instruction executing in a compute pipeline of the barrel processor, the instruction having encountered a hazard and unable to progress through the compute pipeline; store the indication of the instruction in a hazard memory; receive a signal indicating that the hazard has cleared; and cause the instruction to be rescheduled at the beginning of the compute pipeline in response to the signal.
