Abstract:
Methods and apparatus relating to sort-free threading model for a multi-threaded graphics pipeline are described. In an embodiment, draw requests, corresponding to one or more primitives in an image, are stored in entries of a queue (e.g., in the order received). Each entry remains locked until both a front-end and a back-end of a graphics pipeline have completed one or more operations associated with the draw request. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
