Abstract:
Embodiments for a local data share (LDS) unit are described herein. Embodiments include a co-operative set of threads to load data into shared memory so that the threads can have repeated memory access allowing higher memory bandwidth. In this way, data can be shared between related threads in a cooperative manner by providing a re-use of a locality of data from shared registers. Furthermore, embodiments of the invention allow a cooperative set of threads to fetch data in a partitioned manner so that it is only fetched once into a shared memory that can be repeatedly accessed via a separate low latency path.
