Typed Reads Coalescence
Metric Description
Transaction Coalescence is a ratio of the used
bytes to all bytes requested by the transaction. The lower the coalescence, the
bigger part of the bandwidth is wasted. It originates from the GPU Data Port
function that dynamically merges scattered memory operations into fewer
operations over non-duplicated 64-byte cacheline requests. For example, if a
16-wide SIMD operation consecutively reads integer array elements with a stride
of 2, the coalescence of such a transaction is 50%, because half of the bytes
in the requested cacheline is not used.
