Apparatus and method for performing low-latency multi-job submission via a single job descriptor is described herein. An apparatus embodiment includes a plurality of descriptor queues to stores job descriptors describing work to be performed and enqueue circuitry to receive a first job descriptor which includes a first field to store a Single Instruction Multiple Data (SIMD) width. If the SIMD width indicates that the first job descriptor is an SIMD job descriptor and open slots are available in the descriptor queues to store new job descriptors, then the enqueue circuitry is to generate a plurality of job descriptors based on fields of the first job descriptor and to store them in the open slots of the descriptor queues. The generated job descriptors are processed by processing pipelines to perform the work described. At least some of the generated job descriptors are processed concurrently or in parallel by different processing pipelines.
