Apparatus and method for ai-based workload scheduling across integrated and discrete graphics processors

A method, comprising:

• executing graphics code on graphics processing circuitry of an in-vehicle infotainment (IVI) system, the graphics processing circuitry including an integrated graphics processor (iGPU) and a discrete graphics processor (dGPU);
• executing, on a processor, program code from a memory to implement a graphics task scheduler, the graphics task scheduler to operate in accordance with a trained machine-learning (ML) model to perform operations, comprising:
• determining features associated with an artificial intelligence (AI) or 3D graphics task to be executed by the graphics processing circuitry;
• determining metrics associated with a current state of the IVI system, the metrics to include at least one of:
• current power consumption conditions, current thermal conditions, and current resource utilization conditions;
• and
• selecting either the iGPU or dGPU to execute the AI or 3D graphics task based on at least one of:
• the features and the metrics associated with the current state of the IVI system.

A machine-readable medium having program code stored thereon which, when executed by a machine, causes the machine to perform operations, comprising:
