Dynamically reducing latency in processing pipelines

A system comprising:

• one or more processing units to:
• obtaining a weighted average execution time associated with each execution stage of a plurality of execution stages processing a plurality of frames starting with an initial execution stage and continuing with each subsequent execution stage;
• determining a first largest weighted average execution time associated with one of the plurality of execution stages;
• and
• applying a delay to the initial execution stage prior to processing a first next frame of the plurality of frames, wherein the delay is based on the first largest weighted average execution time of the plurality of execution stages.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions that, when executed by a processing device, cause the processing device to perform operations comprising:

• obtaining a weighted average execution time associated with each execution stage of a plurality of execution stages processing a plurality of frames;
• applying a delay to an initial stage of the plurality of execution stages based on a largest weighted average execution time associated with one of the plurality of execution stages;
• and
• adjusting the delay to the initial stage based on a period of time between processing in sequentially adjacent execution stages.
