    摘要: Techniques for removing reset indices from, and identifying primitives in, an index stream that defines a set of primitives to be rendered, are disclosed. The index stream may be specified by an application program executing on the central processing unit. The technique involves classifying the primitive topology for the index stream as either requiring an offset-based technique or requiring a non-offset-based technique. This classification is done by determining whether, according to the primitive topology, each subsequent index can form a primitive with prior indices (e.g., line strip, triangle strip). If each subsequent index can form a primitive with prior indices, then the technique used is the non-offset-based technique. If each subsequent index does not form a primitive with prior indices, but instead at least two indices are required to form a new primitive (e.g., line list, triangle list), then the technique used is the offset-based technique.
