38  * "People assume that time is a strict progression of cause to effect, but

41  *
42  * Requests exist in a complex web of interdependencies. Each request
43  * has to wait for some other request to complete before it is ready to be run
44  * (e.g. we have to wait until the pixels have been rendering into a texture
45  * before we can copy from it). We track the readiness of a request in terms
46  * of fences, but we also need to keep the dependency tree for the lifetime
47  * of the request (beyond the life of an individual fence). We use the tree
48  * at various points to reorder the requests whilst keeping the requests
49  * in order with respect to their various dependencies.
50  *
51  * There is no active component to the "scheduler". As we know the dependency
52  * DAG of each request, we are able to insert it into a sorted queue when it
53  * is ready, and are able to reorder its portion of the graph to accommodate
54  * dynamic priority changes.
