Abstract:
The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatus for graphics processing. In some aspects, multiple processing units can be in a graphics processing pipeline of a GPU. The apparatus can also group the multiple processing units into one or more processing unit clusters. In some aspects, each of the one or more processing unit clusters can correspond to one or more context registers. Additionally, the apparatus can determine one or more context states of the one or more context registers in each of the one or more processing unit clusters. Also, the apparatus can implement one or more execution counters corresponding to at least one of the one or more processing unit clusters in the graphics processing pipeline, where each of the one or more execution counters includes an execution value.
