Abstract
One embodiment provides for a general-purpose graphics processing unit comprising a compute cluster including multiple compute units, a stall notification module to detect that one or more compute units in the compute cluster are stalled and send stall notification, and a rebalance module to receive the stall notification, the rebalance module to migrate a first workload from one or more stalled compute units in response to the stall notification.
