Am 18. Dezember wurde ein Patent aus dem Jahre 2003 veröffentlich, welches wohlmöglich für die NV-Produkte in naher Zukunft interessant sein könnte. jetzt schon interessant ist.
Across-thread out of order instruction dispatch in a multithreaded graphics processor (http://www.freepatentsonline.com/7310722.html)
Instruction dispatch in a multithreaded microprocessor such as a graphics processor is not constrained by an order among the threads. Instructions are fetched into an instruction buffer that is configured to store an instruction from each of the threads. A dispatch circuit determines which instructions in the buffer are ready to execute and may issue any ready instruction for execution. An instruction from one thread may be issued prior to an instruction from another thread regardless of which instruction was fetched into the buffer first. Once an instruction from a particular thread has issued, the fetch circuit fills the available buffer location with the following instruction from that thread.[...]
Vorallem der Abschnitt "BACKGROUND OF THE INVENTION" ist interessant, wenn man sich auch nicht so tief in die Materie hineinversetzen will.
