Hi Team,
MediaTek Dimensity 9000 SOC uses the latest ARM Mali GPU G710. We see that they mentioned about embedded processor in the GPU susbystem which offloads the CPU workload.
HC2022.Mediatek.EricbillWang.v08.pptx (hotchips.org) - Slide 14 from this link explains the details.
We wanted to know more details about this emebedded processor. Can the OEM's or SOC vendor's modify the GPU subsystem ?
Thanks and Regards

So the claim from the Mediatek of
"From G78 to G710 there is -15% GPU driver loading on CPU by offloading to embedded processor"
is from command stream frontend subsystem introduced in the G710 GPU architecture ?
Or there is a new processor inside this G710 IP ?

Yes and yes =)
The command stream frontend (CSF) substantially changes how the driver talks to the hardware, and reduces CPU load significantly (by more than 15% for many applications, but it's content dependent). The CSF includes an embedded processor, but there is far more to it than that in terms of domain-specific hardware assist. It's not a public part of the architecture, so that's about as much detail as I can give here.
Cheers,
