Abstract
Methods and apparatus are described. A method includes an accelerated processing device running a process. When a maximum time interval during which the process is permitted to run expires before the process completes, the accelerated processing device receives an operating-system-initiated instruction to stop running the process. The accelerated processing device stops the process from running in response to the received operating-system-initiated instruction.
