Method and system for distributing work batches to processing units based on a number of enabled streaming multiprocessors

A work distribution unit distributes work batches to general processing clusters (GPCs) based on the number of streaming multiprocessors included in each GPC. Advantageously, each GPC receives an amount of work that is proportional to the amount of processing power afforded by the GPC. Embodiments i...

Zusammenfassung:A work distribution unit distributes work batches to general processing clusters (GPCs) based on the number of streaming multiprocessors included in each GPC. Advantageously, each GPC receives an amount of work that is proportional to the amount of processing power afforded by the GPC. Embodiments include a method for distributing batches of processing tasks to two or more general processing clusters (GPCs), including the steps of updating a counter value for each of the two or more GPCs based on the number of enabled parallel processing units within each of the two or more GPCs, and distributing a batch of processing tasks to a first GPC of the two or more GPCs based on a counter value associated with the first GPC and based on a load signal received from the first GPC.
