AI Technical Summary
Technical Problem
The rate at which work item information can be sent across the interface between a computation requesting unit and a computation sequencing unit in a computing system is limited, affecting the scheduling and execution rate of computational instances.
Method used
A method for compressing work item coordinate data by creating a work item valid mask and computing swizzle masks for each dimension of a work group, allowing the compressed data to be sent across the interface, which is then decompressed for execution.
Benefits of technology
This approach reduces the amount of data transmitted per cycle, increasing the instance scheduling rate and improving computational execution efficiency without increasing the size of the interface.
