Abstract

See full text

An apparatus and method for processor core to graphics processor scheduling and execution is disclosed. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a general purpose processor configured to execute instructions from a first instruction set and a graphic processing unit (GPU) configured to execute instructions from a second instruction set. The apparatus also includes a microcode unit configured to store microcode instructions that, when executed by the general purpose processor core, generate translated instructions, wherein the translated instructions are generated by translating selected instructions from the first instruction set translated into instructions of the second instruction set. The general purpose processor is configured to, responsive to performing a translation, pass the translated instructions to the GPU. The GPU is configured to execute the translated instructions and pass corresponding results back to the general purpose processor.
