Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for redistributing multi-sample processing workloads between threads. A workload for a plurality of multi-sample pixels is received and each thread in a parallel thread group is associated with a corresponding multi-sample pixel of the plurality of pixels. The workload is redistributed between the threads in the parallel thread group based on a characteristic of the workload and the workload is processed by the parallel thread group. In one embodiment, the characteristic is rasterized coverage information for the plurality of multi-sample pixels.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for generating primitive-specific attributes. In operation, it is determined whether a portion of a graphics processor is operating in a predetermined mode. If it is determined that the portion of the graphics processor is operating in the predetermined mode, only one or more primitive-specific attributes are generated in association with a primitive.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for multi-sample processing. The multi-sample pixel data is received and an encoding state associated with the multi-sample pixel data is determined. Data for one sample of a multi-sample pixel and the encoding state are provided to a processing unit. The one sample of the multi-sample pixel is processed by the processing unit to generate processed data for the one sample that represents processed multi-sample pixel data for all samples of the multi-sample pixel or two or more samples of the multi-sample pixel.

Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for processing graphics data associated with shading. In operation, a first fragment is received. Further, the first fragment is shaded. While the first fragment is being shaded, a second fragment is received and it is determined whether at least one aspect of the second fragment conflicts with the first fragment. If it is determined that the at least one aspect of the second fragment does not conflict with the first fragment, the second fragment is shaded. If it is determined that the at least one aspect of the second fragment conflicts with the first fragment, information associated with the second fragment is stored, a third fragment is received, and the third fragment is shaded, if it is determined that at least one aspect of the third fragment does not conflict with the first fragment.
