Graphics processing units (GPUs) are used, for example, to process data related to three-dimensional objects or scenes and to render the three-dimensional data onto a two-dimensional display screen. One embodiment, among others, of a GPU is disclosed herein, wherein the GPU includes a control device configured to receive vertex, geometry and pixel data. The GPU further includes a plurality of execution units connected in parallel, each execution unit configured to perform a plurality of graphics shading functions on the vertex, geometry and pixel data. The control device is further configured to allocate a portion of the vertex, geometry and pixel data to each execution unit in a manner to substantially balance the load among the execution units.
