Base plus offset addressing for load/store messages
Abstract:
Embodiments described herein provide a technique to decompose 64-bit per-lane virtual addresses to access a plurality of data elements on behalf of a multi-lane parallel processing execution resource of a graphics or compute accelerator. The 64-bit per-lane addresses are decomposed into a base address and a plurality of per-lane offsets for transmission to memory access circuitry. The memory access circuitry then combines the base address and the per-lane offsets to reconstruct the per-lane addresses.
