ABSTRACT:
A command parser in a GPU is configured to schedule execution of received commands and includes a first input coupled to a scheduler. The first command parser input is configured to communicate bus interface commands to the command parser for execution. A second command parser input is coupled to a controller that receives ring buffer commands from the scheduler in association with a new or previously-partially executed ring buffer, or context, which are executed by the command parser. A third command parser input coupled to a command DMA component that receives DMA commands from the controller that are also contained in the new or previously-partially executed ring buffer, which are forwarded to the command parser for execution. The command parser forwards data corresponding to commands received on one or more the first, second, and third inputs via one or more outputs.
