Summary:A method for thread address mapping in a parallel thread processor. The method includes receiving a thread address associated with a first thread in a thread group; computing an effective address based on a location of the thread address within a local window of a thread address space; computing a thread group address in an address space associated with the thread group based on the effective address and a thread identifier associated with a first thread; and computing a virtual address associated with the first thread based on the thread group address and a thread group identifier, where the virtual address is used to access a location in a memory associated with the thread address to load or store data.
