ABSTRACT:
An output buffer in a multi-threaded processor is managed to store a variable amount of output data. Parallel threads produce a variable amount of output data. A controller is configured to determine how much output buffer space is needed per thread and how many threads can execute in parallel, given the available space in the output buffer. The controller also determines where each thread writes to in the output buffer.
