Abstract
The present application discloses a warp execution method used for SPs of an SM of a GPU and an associated GPU. The SPs share a scratchpad memory, and the warp execution method includes: when the predetermined time point for warp-loading is reached, checking a first indicator to obtain a size of a space with the status of blank in the scratchpad memory, to determining whether to load the warp, wherein the first indicator is used to indicate a starting position of a space with the status of data-in-use and an ending position of the space with the status of blank; and when the predetermined time point for computing is reached, checking a second indicator and a third indicator to obtain a size of a space with the status of data-not-in-use in the scratchpad memory, to determining whether to compute the warp.
