Many-thread aware instruction-level parallelism: architecting shader cores for GPU computing

To achieve high performance, contemporary computer systems rely on two forms of parallelism: instruction-level parallelism (ILP) and thread-level parallelism (TLP). Wide-issue super-scalar processors exploit ILP by executing multiple instructions from a ...

Many-core architectures such as graphics processing units (GPUs) rely on thread-level parallelism (TLP) to overcome pipeline hazards. Consequently, each core in a many-core processor employs a relatively simple in-order pipeline with limited capability ...

General-Purpose Graphic Processing Units (GPGPU) have been widely used in high performance computing as application accelerators due to their massive parallelism and high throughput. A GPGPU generally contains two layers of schedulers, a cooperative-...
