Abstract
Methods, devices, and systems for managing performance of a processor having multiple compute units. An effective number of the multiple compute units may be determined to designate as having priority. On a condition that the effective number is nonzero, the effective number of the multiple compute units may each be designated as a priority compute unit. Priority compute units may have access to a shared cache whereas non-priority compute units may not. Workgroups may be preferentially dispatched to priority compute units. Memory access requests from priority compute units may be served ahead of requests from non-priority compute units.
