Abstract
A system, method, and computer program product are provided for implementing a multi-cycle register file bypass mechanism. The method includes the steps of receiving a set of control bits, combining the set of control bits with a set of valid bits associated with previously issued instructions, and enabling a bypass path for each thread based on the set of control bits and the set of valid bits. Each valid bit in the set of valid bits indicates whether execution of an instruction of the previously issued instructions was enabled for a thread in a thread block.
