Abstract
A computing device for performing scheduling operations for graphics hardware is described herein. The computing device includes a central processing unit (CPU) that is configured to execute an application. The computing device also includes a graphics scheduler configured to operate independently of the CPU. The graphics scheduler is configured to receive work queues relating to workloads from the application that are to execute on the CPU and perform scheduling operations for any of a number of graphics engines based on the work queues.
