Abstract

The invention discloses a barrier synchronization method and device, and relates to the field of communications, and solves the problem that under the condition that the thread number is increased, the chip processing performance of a multi-core or many-core processor is reduced due to access bottlenecks. The concrete scheme of the barrier synchronization method is that a first processor core determines that a present processed thread program is executed to a predetermined barrier synchronization point; the first processor core is any one of the processor cores included by the chip; a target barrier synchronization device is determined according to the barrier identification corresponding to the predetermined barrier synchronization point; a barrier synchronization message is sent to the target barrier synchronization device; and the barrier synchronization message comprises the barrier identification and the number of the thread programs which participate in the synchronization process. The barrier synchronization method and device are used for the barrier synchronization process.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the communication field, in particular to a fence synchronization method and equipment. Background technique [0002] Traditional single-core processors usually increase the main frequency of the processor by using superscalar and pipeline processing technology to achieve the purpose of improving processor performance, but the increase of main frequency will lead to increased power consumption of the processor, and will lead to The heat dissipation of the processor is not good. Moreover, with the continuous development of semiconductor technology, the number of transistors that can be integrated on the chip is gradually increasing. In order to improve the performance of the processor and reduce the power consumption of the processor at the same time, and to make the processor have good heat dissipation, the architecture designer proposes Multi-core or many-core processors with thread-level coarse-grained parallelism. ...
