ABSTRACT:
An embodiment of the invention includes directing a kernel-mode driver to process at least a portion of a command stream configured to cause a graphics processing unit to perform an operation. The kernel-mode driver is used to issue a request to trigger creation of an asynchronous thread for processing the portion of the command stream.
