Abstract
Methods and apparatus relating to techniques for avoiding cache lookup for cold cache. In an example, an apparatus comprises logic, at least partially comprising hardware logic, to determine a first number of threads to be scheduled for each context of a plurality of contexts in a multi-context processing system, allocate a second number of streaming multiprocessors (SMs) to the respective plurality of contexts, and dispatch threads from the plurality of contexts only to the streaming multiprocessor(s) allocated to the respective plurality of contexts. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
