Abstract
Devices and techniques for thread replay to preserve state in a barrel processor are described herein. An apparatus includes a barrel processor, which includes a temporary memory; and a thread scheduling circuitry; wherein the barrel processor is configured to perform operations through use of the thread scheduling circuitry, the operations including those to: schedule a current thread to place into a pipeline for the barrel processor on a clock cycle, the barrel processor to schedule threads on each clock cycle; store the current thread in the temporary memory; detect that no thread is available on a clock cycle subsequent to the cycle that the current thread is scheduled; and in response to detecting that no thread is available on the subsequent clock cycle, repeat scheduling the current thread based on the contents of the temporary memory.
