purpose workloads (GPGPU), the question arises how such processors will evolve
architecturally in the near future. In this work, we identify and discuss trade-offs for three
GPU architecture parameters: active thread count, compute-memory ratio, and cluster and
warp sizing. For each parameter, we propose changes to improve GPU design, keeping in
mind trends such as dark silicon and the increasing popularity of GPGPU architectures. A …
