Abstract

The techniques are generally related to management of buffers with a management unit that resides within an integrated circuit that includes a graphics processing unit (GPU). The management unit may ensure proper access to the buffers by the programmable compute units of the GPU to allow the GPU to execute kernels on the programmable compute units in a pipeline fashion.
