Abstract

Systems and methods that optimize GPU processing by front loading activities from a set time/binding time to creation time via enhancements to an API that configures the GPU. Such enhancements to the API include: implementing layering arrangements, employing state objects and view components for data objects; incorporating a pipeline stage linkage/signature, employing a detection mechanism to mitigate error conditions. Such an arrangement enables front loading of the work and reduction of associated API calls.
