    Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide an apparatus comprising a processor to configure a plurality of contexts of a command engine to execute a graphics workload comprising a plurality of walkers, allocate, from a pool of execution units of a graphics processor, a subset of execution units to each walker in the plurality of walkers based at least in part on the predetermined number of walkers configured for the context, for each context in the plurality of contexts, dispatch one or more walkers of the plurality of walkers to the execution units, and upon dispatch of the one or more walkers of the plurality of walkers, write an opcode to a computer-readable memory indicating that the dispatch of the walker is complete, wherein the opcode comprises dependency data for the one or more walkers of the plurality of walkers. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

    Abstract: A mechanism is described for facilitating execution-aware hybrid preemption for execution of tasks in computing environments. A method of embodiments, as described herein, includes detecting a software application being hosted by a computing device, where the software applications to facilitate one or more tasks that are capable of being executed by a graphics processor of the computing device. The method may further include selecting at least one of a fine grain preemption or a coarse grain preemption based on comparison of a first time estimation and a second time estimation relating to the one or more tasks at thread level execution and work group level execution, respectively. The method may further include initiating performance of the selected one of the fine grain preemption and the coarse grain preemption.
