Abstract
Embodiments of a workload management architecture may include an input configured to receive workload data for a plurality of commands, a DMA block configured to divide the workload data for each command of the plurality of commands into a plurality of job packets, a job packet manager configured to assign one of the plurality of job packets to one of a plurality of fixed function engines (FFEs) coupled with the job packet manager, where each of the plurality of FFEs is configured to receive one or more of the plurality of job packets and generate one or more output packets based on the workload data in the received one or more job packets.
