Abstract
The techniques described in this disclosure are directed to efficient parallel execution of graphics and non-graphics application on a graphics processing unit (GPU). The GPU may include a plurality of shader cores within a shader processor. The techniques may reserve one or more shader cores to execute the graphics application and reserve one or more other shader cores to execute the non-graphics application. In this manner, the execution of the non-graphics application may not interfere with the execution of the graphics application, and vice-versa.
