Position only shader context submission through a render command streamer
By scheduling/managing workload submission to a position only shading pipe one can exploit parallelism with minimum impact to the software scheduler in some embodiments. An interface submits workloads to a slave engine running in one parallel pipe to assist a main engine running in another parallel pipe. Command sequences for each parallel pipe are separated to enable the slave engine to run ahead of the main engine. The slave engine is a position only shader and the main engine is a render engine.
