Nvidia patents method to run independent graphics tasks while others wait

Patent drawing from the official filing.

Nvidia describes a way for a processor to handle graphics commands, called graph nodes, in a specific order. It allows some tasks to run immediately while others that depend on previous results wait their turn, improving how work is scheduled.

Why it mattersThis is a technical improvement to how graphics chips manage tasks, which could lead to slightly more efficient performance in future hardware, though it is not a new feature for consumers.

In the filing’s own words

Apparatuses, systems, and techniques to perform graph nodes. In at least one embodiment, a processor comprises one or more circuits to perform an API to cause one or more first graph nodes to be performed independently with respect to two or more second graph nodes, which have a dependency relationship with respect to each other.
