A new paper analyzes warp divergence across NVIDIA GPU architectures, from Pascal to Blackwell. The research found that divergent paths serialize linearly with the number of paths, a behavior consistent since the Pascal generation. While the core performance cost of divergence has remained predictable, NVIDIA has significantly evolved its compiler-emitted reconvergence mechanisms and control-flow instructions across architectures like Ampere, Hopper, and Blackwell.
