    Abstract: One embodiment provides for a graphics processor comprising a translation lookaside buffer (TLB) to cache a first page table entry for a virtual to physical address mapping for use by the graphics processor, the first page table entry to indicate that a first virtual page is a valid page that is cleared to a clear color and graphics pipeline circuitry to bypass a memory access for the first virtual page based on the first page table entry in response to determination that the first virtual page is cleared to the clear color and determine a color associated with the first virtual page without performing a memory access to the first virtual page.

    Abstract: A mechanism is described to facilitate microcontroller-based flexible thread scheduling launching in computing environments. An apparatus of embodiments, as described herein, includes facilitating a graphics processor hosting a microcontroller having a thread scheduling unit, and detection and observation logic to detect a scheduling algorithm associated with an application at the apparatus. The apparatus may further include reading and dispatching logic to facilitate the microcontroller to prepare a flexible dispatch routine based on the scheduling algorithm. The apparatus may further include scheduling and launching logic to facilitate the thread scheduling unit to dynamically schedule and launch threads based on the flexible dispatch routine, where the threads are hosted by the graphics processor.
