PERFORMING PROCESSING TASKS USING AN AUXILIARY PROCESSING UNIT

摘要

Examples for performing processing tasks using an auxiliary processing unit are described. In an example, a computing system may include a processor to perform a plurality of processing tasks for each of a plurality of applications hosted by the computing system. An auxiliary processing task may be determined for an active application from the plurality of applications. The auxiliary processing tasks may be from among the plurality of processing tasks performed for the active application. Further, the processing code corresponding to the auxiliary processing task may be provided to the auxiliary processing unit of the computing system. The auxiliary processing unit may execute the processing code to perform corresponding auxiliary processing tasks and share a processing load with the processor.
