Nvidia patents compiler that splits code between different processors
Nvidia describes a software tool that takes a single program and splits it into parts. It compiles some parts to run on one type of processor and other parts to run on a different type, based on instructions in the code.
In the filing’s own words
Compiler techniques for inline parallelism and re-targetable parallel runtime execution of logic iterators enable selection thereof from the source code or dynamically during object-code execution.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. One or more processors, comprising: circuitry to: receive source code including a portion of the source code and a specifier indicating a second processor different from a first processor for the portion of the source code; generate an intermediate representation of the portion of the source code; compile the source code into a first portion of machine code for execution on the first processor; cause execution of the first portion of machine code on the first processor; based at least in part on the specifier indicating the second processor, compile the intermediate representation into a second portion of machine code for execution on the second processor; and cause the second processor to execute the second portion of machine code.
