Abstract
A graphical processing unit having an implementation of a hierarchical hash table thereon, a method of establishing a hierarchical hash table in a graphics processing unit and GPU computing system are disclosed herein. In one embodiment, the graphics processing unit includes: (1) a plurality of parallel processors, wherein each of the plurality of parallel processors includes parallel processing cores, a shared memory coupled to each of the parallel processing cores, and registers, wherein each one of the registers is uniquely associated with one of the parallel processing cores and (2) a controller configured to employ at least one of the registers to establish a hierarchical hash table for a key-value pair of a thread processing on one of the parallel processing cores.
