Modern Graphic Processing Units (GPUs) have become pervasive computing devices in datacenters due to their high performance with massive thread level parallelism (TLP). GPUs are equipped with large register files (RF) to support fast context switch between massive threads and scratchpad memory (SPM) to support inter-thread communication within the cooperative thread array (CTA). However, the TLP of GPUs is usually limited by the inefficient resource management of register file and scratchpad memory. This inefficiency also leads to register file and scratchpad memory underutilization. To overcome the above inefficiency, we propose a new resource management approach EXPARS for GPUs. EXPARS provides a larger register file logically by expanding the register file to scratchpad memory. When the available register file becomes limited, our approach leverages the underutilized scratchpad memory to support additional register allocation. Therefore, more CTAs can be dispatched to SMs, which improves the GPU utilization. Our experiments on representative benchmark suites show that the number of CTAs dispatched to each SM increases by 1.28× on average. In addition, our approach improves the GPU resource utilization significantly, with the register file utilization improved by 11.64% and the scratchpad memory utilization improved by 48.20% on average. With better TLP, our approach achieves 20.01% performance improvement on average with negligible energy overhead.
