Abstract:
Computing platform security methods and apparatus are disclosed. An example apparatus includes a security application to configure a security task, the security task to detect a malicious element on a computing platform, the computing platform including a central processing unit and a graphics processing unit; and an offloader to determine whether the central processing unit or the graphics processing unit is to execute the security task; and when the graphics processing unit is to execute the security task, offload the security task to the graphics processing unit for execution.
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.

Abstract:
Methods, apparatus and articles of manufacture for graphics processing of a vertex buffer using a relative index buffer are disclosed. Example methods to process a vertex buffer disclosed herein include accessing a first relative index stored in a relative index buffer, the first relative index specifying an offset from a current index selecting a first entry of the vertex buffer. Such disclosed example methods also include, in response to the first relative index being a nonzero value, processing data associated with a second entry of the vertex buffer to determine a rasterizer output associated with the first entry of the vertex buffer, the second entry of the vertex buffer being selected using the current index offset by the first relative index.
