Abstract
Circuitry for dynamically ordering the execution of multiple threads in parallel is presented. The circuitry may include a control circuit that controls the execution of multiple subsets of threads using multiple processing units in parallel. Each of the plurality of processing units may be associated with an adjustable order thread issuer that may receive a subset of threads and an order in which to execute the subset of threads from the control circuit. The adjustable order thread issuer may manage the processing unit by providing each thread from the subset of threads for execution to the processing unit in the specified order. The adjustable order thread issuer may adjust the order in which threads are issued in an effort to optimize shared resource usage and thus improve the performance of a multithreaded application.
