Zusammenfassung:A processor includes a shared memory, and an instruction unit to receive a single instruction, multiple thread (SIMT) instruction having a first source register identifier and a second source register identifier. The SIMT instruction indicates a number of data values to be written to the shared memory concurrently. A SIMT processor includes processor elements each to execute instructions of a different corresponding thread of a parallel thread group. Each of a number of processor elements, equal in number to the number of data values, is to execute the SIMT instruction to concurrently write a different corresponding one of the number of data values from a first source register of the respective processor element identified by the first source register identifier to the shared memory at an address based on address information from a second source register of the respective processor element identified by the second source register identifier.
