Enhanced scalar vector dual pipeline architecture with cross execution

A graphics processing subsystem for generating a secondary scalar pipeline comprising:

• a graphics processing unit (GPU) operable to:
• identifying a set of scalar and vector instructions, said set of scalar and vector instructions being executed in a kernel;
• determining a scalar instruction of the set of scalar and vector instructions with a predefined set of scalar instructions;
• in response to the determination being positive, generating a secondary scalar pipeline for the scalar instruction for processing;
• assigning the remaining scalar instructions from the set of scalar and vector instructions to a first scalar pipeline;
• assigning vector instructions of the set of scalar and vector instructions to a vector pipeline;
• and
• initializing the kernel for execution.
