Setting the Preemption Type
High-Priority Applications
For high-priority applications, set the timeslice large enough that all work can complete.
The recommeded Compute-Instruction-Level-Preemption (CILP) setting for
graphics and for compute is a preemption type of
Wait-For-Idle (WFI). This ensures CILP will not be hit because NVIDIA® CUDA® kernels will have completed.
Medium-Priority Applications
The recommended setting for medium-priority applications is a preemption type enabled for
graphics (GFXP) and compute (CILP). For applications
that can complete in their timeslice, context-switch overhead is minimal because the GPU is
in an idled state.
Low-Priority Applications
For low-priority applications, always enable graphics and
compute preemption because workloads are unpredictable.
