Devices and techniques for thread scheduling control and memory splitting in a processor are described herein. An apparatus includes a hardware interface configured to receive a first request to execute a first thread, the first request including an indication of a workload; and processing circuitry configured to: determine the workload to produce a metric based at least in part on the indication; compare the metric with a threshold to determine that the metric is beyond the threshold; divide, based at least in part on the comparison, the workload into a set of sub-workloads consisting of predefined number of equal parts from the workload; create a second request to execute a second thread, the second request including a first member of the set of sub-workloads; and process a second member of the set of sub-workloads in the first thread.
