Abstract
Embodiments of the present invention provide improved systems and methods for grouping instruction entities. In one embodiment, a system comprises a processing cluster to execute software, the processing cluster comprising a plurality of processing units, wherein the processing cluster is configured to execute the software as a plurality of instruction entities. The processing cluster is further configured to execute the plurality of instruction entities in a plurality of execution groups, each execution group comprising one or more instruction entities, wherein the processing cluster executes a group of instruction entities in the one or more instruction entities in an execution group concurrently. Further, the execution groups are configured so that a plurality of schedule-before relationships are established, each schedule-before relationship being established among a respective set of instruction entities by executing the plurality of instruction entities in the plurality of execution groups.
