The interleaving mechanism determines, at each clock cycle, which graphics command(s) or atomic command(s) is transmitted to the CROP based on different factors. First, the interleaving mechanism ensures that atomic commands or graphics commands associated with a multi-transaction command stream are processed together. Second, the interleaving mechanism selects consecutive graphics commands for transmission to the CROP that optimize the use of different memory caches. Third, the interleaving mechanism prioritizes atomic commands over graphics commands. At each clock cycle, the graphics command(s) or the atomic command(s) selected by the interleaving mechanism are transmitted to the CROP for processing."},"analysis":{"summary":null,"layman_explanation":null,"technical_analysis":null,"business_analysis":null,"faqs":null,"topics":[],"tech_cluster":null},"seo":{"title":"Simultaneous execution of compute and graphics applications","description":"One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for distributing graphics commands and atomic commands to a color processing unit (CROP) in an efficient manner.
