Abstract

See full text

Methods, systems, and mediums are described for scheduling data parallel tasks onto multiple thread execution units of processing system. Embodiments of a lock-free queue structure and methods of operation are described to implement a method for scheduling fine-grained data-parallel tasks for execution in a computing system. The work of one of a plurality of worker threads is wait-free with respect to the other worker threads. Each node of the queue holds a reference to a task that may be concurrently performed by multiple thread execution units, but each on a different subset of data. Various embodiments relate to software-based scheduling of data-parallel tasks on a multi-threaded computing platform that does not perform such scheduling in hardware. Other embodiments are also described and claimed.
