Techniques for implementing accelerated draw indirect fetching are disclosed. A fetch accelerator enables streamlined data fetching by looping internally and filling a draw queue for a micro engine. By using a dedicated fetch accelerator rather than processing data fetches separately and individually using a conventional processor, significant processing overhead is eliminated and computational latency is reduced. Additionally, different types of aligned or unaligned data structures are usable with equivalent or nearly equivalent performance.

Accelerated draw indirect fetching

A system may be configured to receive and process various signals to generate a natural language description of a user's environment, called situational context data. The signals may include sensor data, device status, user activity, user input, and/or inferences made using such data. The situational context data may express a user-centric description of the user's environment; for example: 'User is taking a walk in the park on a sunny afternoon' or “activity: driving location: highway”, etc. The system may send the situational context data to various system components that may, for example, process speech, select applications/skills for handling user inputs, and/or that implement those applications/skills. The applications/skills may use the situational context data to provide recommendations, generate responses, and/or perform actions that are more relevant to the user's current environment.

Determining device context

A method of context bouncing includes receiving, at a command processor of a graphics processing unit (GPU), a conditional execute packet providing a hash identifier corresponding to an encapsulated state. The encapsulated state includes one or more context state packets following the conditional execute packet. A command packet following the encapsulated state is executed based at least in part on determining whether the hash identifier of the encapsulated state matches one of a plurality of hash identifiers of active context states currently stored at the GPU.
