Abstract: A mechanism for command stream processing is described. A method of embodiments, as described herein, includes fetching cache lines from a memory to fill command first in first out buffer (FIFO), wherein the fetched cachelines an overfetching of data necessary to process a command, a first parser to fetch and execute batch commands stored in the command FIFO and a second parser to fetch commands and execute the batch commands and non-batch commands stored in the command FIFO.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for supporting programmable software context state execution during hardware context restore flow is described. In one example, a context ID is assigned to graphics applications including a unique context memory buffer, a unique indirect context pointer and a corresponding size to each context ID, an indirect context offset, and an indirect context buffer address range. When execution of the first context workload is indirected, the state of the first context workload is saved to the assigned context memory buffer. The indirect context pointer, the indirect context offset and a size of the indirect context buffer address range are saved to registers that are independent of the saved context state. The context is restored by accessing the saved indirect context pointer, the indirect context offset and the buffer size.
