Problems solved by technology

However, due to the direct difference in architecture between the GPU and the CPU (central processing unit), the GPU needs to continuously improve the architecture design and optimize the scheduling mechanism and strategy in terms of hardware, so as to fully ensure the full utilization of computing resources and avoid excessive hardware. overhead
The GPU structure of the prior art has an unbalanced load on thread computing tasks, causing some computing units to be busy or idle for a long time, affecting computing efficiency, or causing a lot of waste of computing resources due to deadlock problems; there is a lack of corresponding access to load and store units. Memory optimization, easy to cause unbalanced hardware loss
[0003] There is currently no effective solution to the problem of uneven load on GPU hardware resources in the prior art

Abstract

The invention discloses a GPU thread load balancing method and device. The GPU thread load balancing method comprises the following steps: polling and accessing a computing unit and a loading storageunit of each thread to obtain register state information of each thread and form a register state table; analyzing the type of an instruction being executed according to the register state informationof each thread, determining the type of an execution instruction of each thread, and updating a historical storage load table; and allocating a new work task to each thread according to the registerstate table and the historical storage load table. According to the invention, each thread of the GPU is enabled to balance the load, the working efficiency and stability are improved, and the servicelife of hardware is prolonged.

Description

Technical field [0001] The present invention relates to the field of load balancing, and more specifically, to a method and device for GPU thread load balancing. Background technique [0002] Large-scale parallel processors such as GPUs (graphics processing units) stack a large number of computing units in space, and improve computing performance by increasing the degree of parallelism. However, due to the direct difference in architecture between GPU and CPU (central processing unit), GPU hardware needs to continuously improve its architecture design and optimize scheduling mechanisms and strategies to fully ensure the full use of computing resources and avoid excessive hardware Overhead. The GPU structure of the prior art has an unbalanced load of thread computing tasks, causing some computing units to be busy or idle for a long time, affecting computing efficiency, or due to deadlock problems, resulting in a lot of waste of computing resources; lack of corresponding access to...
