Abstract
A graphics processing system comprises a pair of graphics processing units that are connected to each other via communications bridges that can allow communication between the connected graphics processing units. One of the graphics processing units is operable to act as a master graphics processing unit controlling graphics processing operations on the other graphics processing unit which is operable as a slave graphics processing unit to perform graphics processing operations under the control of the master graphics processing unit. Each graphics processing unit of the pair of graphics processing units is also capable of operating in a standalone mode, in which the graphics processing unit operates independently of the other graphics processing unit to perform a graphics processing task.
