Abstract: A graphics processing may include implementing a vertex shader and a pixel shader with a GPU. Vertex parameter values may be compressed with the vertex shader and compressed vertex parameter values may be written to a cache. The pixel shader may access the compressed vertex parameter values that were written to the cache and decompress the compressed vertex parameter values. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

Abstract: A GPU is configured to read and process data produced by a compute shader via the one or more ring buffers and pass the resulting processed data to a vertex shader as input. The GPU is further configured to allow the compute shader and vertex shader to write through a cache. Each ring buffer is configured to synchronize the compute shader and the vertex shader to prevent processed data generated by the compute shader that is written to a particular ring buffer from being overwritten before the data is accessed by the vertex shader. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

Abstract translation: GPU被配置为通过一个或多个环形缓冲器读取和处理由计算着色器产生的数据，并将所得到的处理后的数据传递给顶点着色器作为输入。 GPU进一步配置为允许计算着色器和顶点着色器通过高速缓存进行写入。 每个环形缓冲区被配置为使计算着色器和顶点着色器同步，以防止在由顶点着色器访问数据之前被写入特定环形缓冲区的计算着色器生成的被处理数据被覆盖。 要强调的是，该摘要被提供以符合要求抽象的规则，允许搜索者或其他读者快速确定技术公开的主题。 提交它的理解是，它不会用于解释或限制权利要求的范围或含义。

Abstract: Graphics processing may include implementing a vertex shader and a pixel shader with the GPU. Vertex indices output from a vertex shader may be written to a cache. The vertex indices written to the cache may be accessed with the pixel shader and vertex parameter values associated with the vertex indices may be accessed from a memory unit with the pixel shader.

Abstract: A set of graphics primitive information for a virtual object may be processed with compute shader running on a graphics processing unit (GPU) to generate a modified set of primitive information. The modified set of primitive information may be passed to a vertex shader running on the GPU. The vertex shader may perform vertex shading on the modified set of primitive information.
