Abstract

One embodiment provides for a general-purpose graphics processing unit comprising a streaming multiprocessor having a single instruction, multiple thread (SIMT) architecture including hardware multithreading. The streaming multiprocessor comprises multiple processing blocks including multiple processing cores. The processing cores include independent integer and floating-point data paths that are configurable to concurrently execute multiple independent instructions. A memory is coupled with the multiple processing blocks.
