Abstract
Because of their high throughput and power efficiency, massively parallel architectures like graphics processing units (GPUs) become a popular platform for generous purpose computing. However, there are few studies and analyses on GPU instruction set architectures (ISAs) although it is wellknown that the ISA is a fundamental design issue of all modern processors including GPUs.
