Abstract
Disclosed techniques relate to assigning graphic work from logical slots of graphics control circuitry to distributed hardware slots of graphics processor sub-units. In some embodiments, control circuitry assigns respective portions of a set of graphics work from a logical slot to distributed hardware slots based on control information for the set of graphics work. When a full number of distributed hardware slots to be utilized by the set of graphics work are not available, control circuitry may assign a proper sub-set of portions of the set of graphics work to available distributed hardware slots. Control circuitry may support allocating any determined integer number of graphics processor sub-units in a range from one processor sub-unit to a total number of processor sub-units included in the apparatus.
