Abstract
A method of scheduling tasks within a GPU or other highly parallel processing unit is described which is both age-aware and wakeup event driven. Tasks which are received are added to an age-based task queue. Wakeup event bits for task types, or combinations of task types and data groups, are set in response to completion of a task dependency and these wakeup event bits are used to select an oldest task from the queue that satisfies predefined criteria.
