Patent 11175919 was granted and assigned to Amazon on November, 2021 by the United States Patent and Trademark Office.
Integrated circuit devices and methods for synchronizing execution of program code for multiple concurrently operating execution engines of the integrated circuit devices are provided. In some cases, one execution engine of an integrated circuit device may be dependent on the operation of another execution engine of the integrated circuit device. To synchronize the execution engines around the dependency, a first execution engine may execute an instruction to set a value in a register while a second execution engine may execute an instruction to wait for a condition associated with the register value.
