Event assignment for synchronization of concurrent execution engines

Abstract:

Techniques for synchronizing operations of execution engines of an integrated circuit device are disclosed. A description of a plurality of operations to be performed by the execution engines may be obtained. The plurality of operations may be connected through a plurality of edges. A dependency vector may be generated for each operation of the plurality of operations. The dependency vector of a corresponding operation may include a set of values that are calculated based on the set of values of one or more dependency vectors calculated for one or more immediately preceding operations of the plurality of operations. An event register of a plurality of event registers may be assigned, for each edge of one or more of the plurality of edges, to the corresponding edge based on the dependency vector generated for a start operation associated with the corresponding edge.
