Abstract: The disclosure pertains to techniques for operation of graphics systems and task execution on a graphics processor. One such technique comprises a computer-implemented method for task execution on a graphics processor, the method comprising creating a data structure for grouping data resources, populating the data structure with two or more data resources for encoding into a graphics processing language by an encoding object, passing the data structure to a first programming interface command, the first programming interface command configured to access the data structure's data resources, triggering execution of a first function on a graphics processor in response to passing the data structure to the first programming interface command, passing the data structure to a second programming interface command, the second programming interface command configured to access the data structure's data resources, and triggering execution of a second function on the graphics processor in response to passing the data structure to the second programming interface command.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media to encode and execute an indirect command buffer are described. A processor creates an indirect command buffer that is configured to be encoded into by a graphics processor at a later point in time. The processor encodes, within a command buffer, a produce command that references the indirect command buffer, where the produce command triggers execution on the graphics processor a first operation that encodes a set of commands within the data structure. The processor also encodes, within the command buffer, a consume command that triggers execution on the graphics processor a second operation that executes the set of commands encoded within the data structure. After encoding the command buffer, a processor commits the command buffer for execution on the graphics processor.
