Abstract
A device having a Graphics Processing Unit (GPU) may be configured to selectively run in a normal mode or a timing testing mode. In the timing testing mode the device is configured to disrupt timing of processing that takes place on the GPU while running an application with the GPU and test the application for errors in device hardware component and/or software component synchronization while the device is running in the timing testing mode.
