Abstract
An approach is provided for coalescing network commands in a GPU that implements a SIMT architecture. Compatible next network operations from different threads are coalesced into a single network command packet. This reduces the number of network command packets generated and issued by threads, thereby increasing efficiency, and improving throughput. The approach is applicable to any number of threads and any thread organization methodology, such as wavefronts, warps, etc.
