Apparatuses, systems, and methods may sample a texture, manage a page fault, and/or switch a context associated with the page fault. A three-dimensional (3D) graphics pipeline may provide texture sample location data corresponding to a texture, wherein sampling of the texture is to be executed external to the 3D graphics pipeline. A compute pipeline may execute sampling of the texture utilizing the texture sample location data and provide texture sample result data corresponding to the texture, wherein the 3D graphics pipeline may composite a frame utilizing the texture sample result data. The compute pipeline may manage a page fault, wherein the page fault and/or management of the page fault may be hidden from a graphics application. In addition, the compute pipeline may switch a compute context associated with the page fault to allow a graphics task not associated with the page fault to be executed and/or to prevent a stall.
