Abstract: Self-tuning thread dispatch policies are described herein. According to one example, a self-tuning thread dispatch policy uses the relative execution time for GPU engines from previous frames to modify the thread dispatch policy for a subsequent frame. In one example, a graphics processing device includes command processing circuitry to receive commands for a render engine and a compute engine of the GPU to render and process frames of an application. The graphics processing device also includes circuitry to determine the usage of shared hardware resources by the render engine and the compute engine for one or more frames of the application. The number of threads to dispatch to the shared hardware resources for a next frame can then be adjusted for the render engine or the compute engine based on the usage of the shared hardware resources for the previous one or more frames.
