Abstract

An apparatus for enqueuing kernels on a device-side is introduced to incorporate with at least a MXU (Memory Access Unit) and a CSP (Command Stream Processor): The CSP, after receiving a first command from the MXU, executes commands of a ring buffer, thereby enabling an EU (Execution Unit) to direct the MXU to allocate space of the ring buffer for a first hardware thread and subsequently write second commands of the first hardware thread into the allocated space of the ring buffer according to an instruction of a kernel.
