A system-on-a-chip sharing a graphics processing unit supporting multi-master is provided. A system on chip (SoC) comprises a plurality of central processing units (CPUs) for executing at least one operating system, a graphics processing unit (GPU) that is connected to each of the plurality of CPUs via a bus interface and communicates with each of the plurality of CPUs, and at least one state monitoring device that is selectively connected to at least one CPU among the plurality of CPUs and transmits execution state information of at least one operating system executed in the connected CPU to the GPU. The GPU is shared by at least one operating system and controls a sharing operation by the at least one operating system based on the execution state information of the at least one operating system.
A method of operating a GPU mounted on an SoC, the method comprising:
