Abstract
The operation of a GPU is controlled based on one or more deadlines by which one or more GPU tasks must be completed and estimates of the time required to complete the execution of a first GPU task (which is currently being executed) and the time required to execute one or more other GPU tasks (which are not currently being executed). Based on a comparison between the deadline(s) and the estimates, context switching may or may not be triggered.
