Abstract

Methods and systems are provided for graphics processing unit optimization via wavefront reforming including queuing one or more work-items of a wavefront into a plurality of queues of a compute unit. Each queue is associated with a particular processor within the compute unit. A plurality of work passes are performed. A determination is made which of the plurality of queues are below a threshold amount of work-items. Remaining one or more work-items from the queues with remaining ones of the work-items are redistributed to the below threshold queues. A subsequent work pass is performed. The, repeating of the determining, redistributing, and performing the subsequent work pass is done until all the queues are empty.
