Abstract: A method and apparatus for ray tracing may include a method, manufacture and apparatus for ray tracing that may include dividing a render target into a plurality of bins. Next, a visibility pass is performed using ray tracing to generate a visibility stream such that the visibility stream indicates, for each bin of the plurality of bins, which primitives are visible in the bin. Then, for at least one bin of the plurality of bins, each primitive in the bin that is indicated in the visibility stream as being visible in the bin is rendered.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for supporting intra-frame timestamps in a graphics system that performs tile-based rendering. The techniques for supporting intra-frame timestamps may involve generating a timestamp value that is indicative of a point in time based on a plurality of per-bin timestamp values that are generated by a graphics processing unit (GPU) while performing tile-based rendering for a graphics frame. The timestamp value may be a function of at least two of the plurality of per-bin timestamp values. The timestamp value may be generated by a central processing unit (CPU), the GPU, another processor, or any combination thereof. By using per-bin timestamp values to generate timestamp values for intra-frame timestamp requests, intra-frame timestamps may be supported by a graphics system that performs tile-based rendering.

Abstract: In general, techniques are described for analyzing a command stream that configures a graphics processing unit (GPU) to render one or more render targets. A device comprising a processor may perform the techniques. The processor may be configured to analyze the command stream to determine a representation of the one or more render targets defined by the command stream. The processor may also be configured to, based on the representation of the render targets, and identify one or more rendering inefficiencies that will occur upon execution of the command stream by the GPU. The processor may also be configured to re-order one or more commands in the command stream so as to reduce the identified rendering inefficiencies that will occur upon execution of the command stream by the GPU.

Abstract: Techniques are described for writing commands to memory units of a chain of memory units of a command buffer. The techniques may write the commands, and if during the writing, it is determined that there is not sufficient space in the chain of memory unit, the techniques may flush previously confirmed commands. If after the writing, the techniques determine that there is not sufficient space in an allocation list for the handles associated with the commands, the techniques may flush previously confirmed commands.
