Abstract
Systems and methods for limiting resource usage of a kernel of an integrated circuit are provided. For example, in one embodiment a method for limiting a number of workgroups that may simultaneously access a kernel of an integrated circuit (IC) includes determining a threshold number of workgroups that may access the kernel simultaneously. A thread of execution is received. The thread of execution is allowed to access the kernel when the threshold number of workgroups would not be exceeded by the thread of execution accessing the kernel.
