Abstract

A mechanism is described for facilitating intelligent dispatching and vectorizing at autonomous machines. A method of embodiments, as described herein, includes detecting a plurality of threads corresponding to a plurality of workloads associated with tasks relating to a graphics processor. The method may further include determining a first set of threads of the plurality of threads that are similar to each other or have adjacent surfaces, and physically clustering the first set of threads close together using a first set of adjacent compute blocks.
