Abstract
Disclosed techniques relate to circuitry configured to aggregate and report usage information in a distributed processor (e.g., a GPU). In some embodiments, graphics processor circuitry that includes at least first and second portions that are respectively configured to execute sets of graphics work. First utilization circuitry may track execution time for sets of graphics work on the first portion of the graphics processor circuitry and second utilization circuitry may track execution time for sets of graphics work on the second portion of the graphics processor circuitry. Command queue circuitry may store multiple different command queues. Control circuitry may access the first and second utilization circuitry and aggregate utilization data on a per-command-queue basis, where for a given command queue, the aggregated utilization data indicates respective utilization of the first and second portions of the graphics processor circuitry. The control circuitry may provide the aggregated per-command-queue utilization data in software-accessible registers.
