As graphics processing units (GPUs) are becoming increasingly popular for general
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 …
As graphics processing units (GPUs) are becoming increasingly popular for general 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 key-enabler is dynamism and workload-adaptiveness, enabling among others: dynamic register file sizing, latency aware scheduling, roofline-aware DVFS, run-time cluster fusion, and dynamic warp sizing.
