Zusammenfassung:Examples are described here that can be used to enable a main routine to request subroutines or other related code to be executed with other instantiations of the same subroutine or other related code for parallel execution. A sorting unit can be used to accumulate requests to execute instantiations of the subroutine. The sorting unit can request execution of a number of multiple instantiations of the subroutine corresponding to a number of lanes in a SIMD unit. A call stack can be used to share information to be accessed by a main routine after execution of the subroutine completes.
