Abstract
A master unit in a core of a plurality of cores in a graphics processing unit receives a set of image rendering tasks, assigns a first subset of the image rendering tasks to a first core of the plurality of cores and assigns a second subset of the image rendering tasks to a second core of the plurality of cores. The master unit transmits the first subset of image rendering tasks to a slave unit of the first core and transmits the second subset of image rendering tasks to a slave unit of the second core. The master unit stores a credit number for each of the first and second cores and adjusts the credit number of the first and second cores by a first amount for each task in the first and second subset of the image rendering tasks. The slave units transmit credit notifications when tasks have been processed and the master unit adjusts the credit numbers when it receives the notifications.
