Abstract
Techniques are disclosed for sharing of data exchange among kernels (each a set of instructions) executing on a system having multiple processing units. In an embodiment, each processing unit includes an on-chip scratchpad memory that can be accessed by the kernels executing on the processing unit. All or a portion of the scratchpad memory can be allocated and configured, for example, such that the scratchpad is accessible to multiple kernels in parallel, to one or more kernels in serial, or a combination of both.
