Abstract
Dynamically coalescing atomic memory operations for memory-local computing is disclosed. In an embodiment, it is determined whether a first atomic memory access and a second atomic memory access are candidates for coalescing. In response to a triggering event, the atomic memory accesses that are candidates for coalescing are coalesced in a cache prior to requesting memory-local processing by a memory-local compute unit. The atomic memory accesses may be coalesced in the same cache line or atomic memory accesses in different cache lines may be coalesced using a multicast memory-local processing command.
