Concurrent compute context

An apparatus comprising:

• a system interface;
• and
• a general-purpose graphics processor coupled with the system interface, the general-purpose graphics processor comprising:
• a plurality of graphics processor hardware resources configured to be partitioned into a plurality of isolated partitions;
• and
• circuitry configurable to:
• select a first command queue of a first plurality of hardware command queues to schedule at a first isolated partition;
• acquire at least a minimum number of graphics processor hardware resources of the first isolated partition to associate with the first command queue, wherein the first command queue includes commands associated with a workload and the workload specifies the minimum number of graphics processor hardware resources;
• dispatch threads of the workload to physical thread slots of at least the minimum number of graphics processor hardware resources;
• and
• load balance a number of graphics processor hardware resources assigned to the workload between the minimum number of graphics processor hardware resources and a maximum number of graphics processor hardware resources.

A system comprising:

• a memory device;
• and
• a graphics processing unit coupled with the memory device, the graphics processing unit including circuitry configurable to perform operations comprising:
• selecting a first command queue for scheduling at a first isolated partition of the graphics processing unit, wherein the first command queue is one of a plurality of command queues of the first isolated partition;
• acquiring at least a minimum number of graphics processor hardware resources of the first isolated partition to associate with the first command queue, wherein the first command queue includes commands associated with a workload and the workload specifies the minimum number of graphics processor hardware resources;
• dispatching threads of the workload to physical thread slots of at least the minimum number of graphics processor hardware resources;
• and
• load balancing a number of graphics processor hardware resources assigned to the workload between the minimum number of graphics processor hardware resources and a maximum number of graphics processor hardware resources.
