Abstract: A method and system for optimizing the performance of a graphics processor system is disclosed. The graphics processor system includes multiple CPUs. The system has at least one application thread or master thread, and in addition each CPU is assigned a slave thread. In a first aspect, the method and system comprises assigning each slave to a particular CPU and causing the master thread to move between the processors to cause each slave thread to execute its graphics pipeline. This minimizes data motion due to application inputs being transferred from CPU to CPU. The method and system further includes providing a summary of relevant changes to graphics state to each slave, thus guaranteeing correct state without requiring synchronization around state updates. Accordingly a system and method in accordance with the present invention minimizes data motion during input and also minimizes synchronization associated therewith in a graphics processor system.
