    Abstract: Methods and apparatus relating to techniques for compiler-based instruction scoreboarding. In an example, an apparatus comprises logic, at least partially comprising hardware logic, to remove unnecessary dependence edges from a data dependency graph, partition the data dependency graph into a plurality of sub-graphs, determine a live range for each of the plurality of sub-graphs, and assign a scoreboard entry to each of the plurality of sub-graphs, wherein sub-graphs which have interfering live ranges are assigned different scoreboard entries. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.

    Abstract: Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques to prefetch pixel data of one or more pixels adjacent to a pixel for which pixel data is retrieved where the prefetched pixel data may be stored in noncontiguous storage locations. A device comprising a processor component and a hint generation component executed by the processor component to embed a prefetch hint in an executable read instruction, the executable read instruction to retrieve pixel data of a specified pixel and the prefetch hint to retrieve pixel data of an adjacent pixel that is geometrically adjacent to the specified pixel. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
