Abstract
A processing apparatus is described. The apparatus includes a graphics processing unit (GPU), including a plurality of execution units to process graphics context data and a register file having a plurality of registers to store the graphics context data; and register renaming logic to facilitate re-use of register data by partitioning a first part and a second part, the first part to include thread-independent code and the second part to include thread-dependent code.
