Scalable processor design

Abstract

This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for improving scalable GPU design. A graphics processor may obtain, from a register of the graphics processor, a slice mask for a set of slices available to the graphics processor. The graphics processor may distribute a set of vertex shading tasks to the set of slices based on the obtained slice mask. The graphics processor may distribute a set of pixel shading tasks to the set of slices based on the obtained slice mask.
