Software Mechanisms for Managing Task Scheduling on an Accelerated Processing Device (APD)

A computer readable medium having stored thereon computer executable instructions that, if executed by a computing device, cause the computing device to perform a method, comprising:

• executing a first task within an accelerated processing device;
• monitoring for an interruption of the executing of the first task;
• and
• switching to a second task if an interruption is detected.

An apparatus, comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• an accelerated processing device coupled to the memory, wherein the accelerated
• processing device is configured to, based on instructions stored in the memory:
• execute a first task within the accelerated processing device;
• monitor for an interruption of the execution of the first task;
• and
• switch to a second task if an interruption is detected.
