Abstract

Methods, systems and computer-readable mediums for task scheduling on an accelerated processing device (APD) are provided. In an embodiment, a method comprises: enqueuing one or more tasks in a memory storage module based on the APD; using a software-based enqueuing module; and dequeuing the one or more tasks from the memory storage module using a hardware-based command processor, wherein the command processor forwards the one or more tasks to the shader core.
