Abstract

See full text

A method of scheduling instructions within a parallel processing unit is described. The method comprises decoding, in an instruction decoder, an instruction in a scheduled task in an active state, and checking, by an instruction controller, if an ALU targeted by the decoded instruction is a primary instruction pipeline. If the targeted ALU is a primary instruction pipeline, a list associated with the primary instruction pipeline is checked to determine whether the scheduled task is already included in the list. If the scheduled task is already included in the list, the decoded instruction is sent to the primary instruction pipeline.
