Abstract

Embodiments are directed toward systems and methods for scheduling resources of a graphics processing unit that determine, for a number of applications having commands to be issued to the GPU, a static priority level and a dynamic priority level of each application, work iteratively across static priority levels until a resource budget of the GPU is consumed, and starting with a highest static priority identify the applications in a present static priority level, assign a processing budget of the GPU to each of the applications in the present static priority level according to their dynamic priority levels, and admit to a queue commands from the applications in the present static priority level according to their processing budgets, and release the queue to the GPU.
