Abstract

A technique for scheduling the dispatching of Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) commands is described. A method implementation of this technique comprises receiving commands from a plurality of applications, buffering the received commands, and dispatching the buffered commands as a command batch towards a GPU. The dispatching is scheduled such that a GPU idle period is created between two successive command batches dispatched towards the GPU.
