Abstract
An apparatus and method for scheduling workloads across virtualized graphics processors. For example, one embodiment of a graphics processing apparatus comprises first graphics processing resources to process graphics commands and execute graphics data; workload scheduling circuitry to schedule workloads for execution on the first graphics processing resources; and workload queuing circuitry to implement a local queue to store local workload entries, each local workload entry associated with a locally-submitted workload and an external workload queue to store external workload entries, each external workload entry associated with an externally-submitted workload submitted for execution by an external graphics processing apparatus, in one embodiment, the workload scheduling circuitry schedules the locally-submitted workloads identified in the local queue and externally-submitted workloads identified in the external workload queue for processing by specified portions of the first graphics processing resources.
