Nvidia patents method to speed up data sharing in graphics chips
Nvidia describes a way for computer chips to share data more efficiently between different processing tasks. The system stores data in a specific queue and uses a descriptor to tell each task exactly which piece of data to use.
In the filing’s own words
Disclosed are systems and techniques for efficient communication of broadcast node records. The techniques include generating one or more record to be consumed by one or more threads. The one or more records are associated with a queue task descriptor. The techniques further include storing the one or more records in a records queue. The techniques further include causing the one or more threads to execute based on the queue task descriptor. A first queue task descriptor index is provided to a first thread of the one or more threads. The first queue task descriptor index corresponds to a first record of the one or more records.
What exactly they claim (claim 1)
1. A method comprising: generating one or more records to be consumed by one or more threads, wherein the one or more records are associated with a queue task descriptor; storing the one or more records in a records queue; and causing the one or more threads to execute based on the queue task descriptor, wherein a first queue task descriptor index is provided to a first thread of the one or more threads, and wherein the first queue task descriptor index corresponds to a first record of the one or more records.
