HSA queuing model

Gaster, Benedict; Howes, Lee; Hower, Derek

Abstract

HSA is a system architecture design for modern computing, integrating CPUs, GPUs, and other accelerators into a single shared memory system. To enable low-latency dispatch between different agents (devices) HSA provides architected queues, which enable low-power hardware implementations along slide software variants. In this chapter HSA a queues are introduced, details of the programmer submission, job scheduling, and integration with HSA's memory consistency model are described.
