    Abstract: An apparatus to facilitate unblocking the integer pipeline during math pipeline phases in a graphics environment is disclosed. The apparatus includes an execution resource comprising: a thread arbiter; a plurality of execution pipeline hardware circuitry comprising a math execution pipeline and an integer execution pipeline to share resources of the thread arbiter; arbitration hardware circuitry to determine whether the math execution pipeline is available for loading math operand data of a math instruction; and a math instruction staging buffer to store the math operand data responsive to the math execution pipeline not being available; wherein the integer execution pipeline is to receive integer operand data for an integer instruction while bypassing the math operand data in the math instruction staging buffer; and wherein the math execution pipeline is to receive, responsive to the math execution pipeline becoming available, the math operand data from the math instruction staging buffer.

    Abstract: Examples described herein relate to instructions to request performance of tanh and sigmoid instructions. For example, a compiler can generate native tanh instructions to perform tanh. In some examples, a tanh function can be compiled into instructions that include an instruction to perform either tanh(input) or tanh(input)/input depending on a value of the input to generate an intermediate output; an instruction to cause a performance of generation of scale factor based on the input; and an instruction to cause performance of a multiplication operation on the intermediate result with the scale factor. For example, a sigmoid function can be compiled to cause a math pipeline to perform a range check and performs operations based on a range.

    Abstract: Provision of multiple register allocation sizes for threads is described. An example of a system includes one or more processors including a graphics processor, the graphics processor including at least a first local thread dispatcher (TDL) and multiple processing resources, each processing resource including a plurality of registers; and memory for storage of data for processing, wherein the one or more processors are to determine a register size for a first thread; identify one or more processing resources having sufficient register space for the first thread; select a processing resource of the one or more processing resources having sufficient register space to assign the first thread; select an available thread slot of the selected processing resource for the first thread; and allocate registers of the selected processing resource for the first thread.
