In accordance with some embodiments, a continuous thread is operated on the graphics processing unit. A continuous thread is launched one time from the central processing unit and then it runs continuously until an application on the central processing unit decides to terminate the thread. For example, the application may decide to terminate the thread in one of a variety of situations which may be programmed in advance. For example, upon error detection, a desire to change the way that the thread on the graphics processing unit operates, or in power off, the thread may terminate. But unless actively terminated by the central processing unit, the continuous thread generally runs uninterrupted.
