Zusammenfassung:	An apparatus and method for servicing multiple graphics processing channels are described. In one embodiment, a graphics processing apparatus includes a scheduler configured to direct servicing of a graphics processing channel by issuing an index related to the graphics processing channel. The graphics processing apparatus also includes a processing core connected to the scheduler. The processing core is configured to service the graphics processing channel by: (i) correlating the index with a memory location at which an instance block for the graphics processing channel is stored; and (ii) accessing the instance block stored at the memory location.
