Abstract: Position-based rendering apparatus and method for multi-die/GPU graphics processing. For example, one embodiment of a method comprises: distributing a plurality of graphics draws to a plurality of graphics processors; performing position-only shading using vertex data associated with tiles of a first draw on a first graphics processor, the first graphics processor responsively generating visibility data for each of the tiles; distributing subsets of the visibility data associated with different subsets of the tiles to different graphics processors; limiting geometry work to be performed on each tile by each graphics processor using the visibility data, each graphics processor to responsively generate rendered tiles; and wherein the rendered tiles are combined to generate a complete image frame.

Abstract: Embodiments are generally directed to compute optimization in graphics processing. An embodiment of an apparatus includes one or more processors including a multi-tile graphics processing unit (GPU) to process data, the multi-tile GPU including multiple processor tiles; and a memory for storage of data for processing, wherein the apparatus is to receive compute work for processing by the GPU, partition the compute work into multiple work units, assign each of multiple work units to one of the processor tiles, and process the compute work using the processor tiles assigned to the work units.

Abstract: Various embodiments enable loop processing in a command processing block of the graphics hardware. Such hardware may include a processor including a command buffer, and a graphics command parser. The graphics command parser to load graphics commands from the command buffer, parse a first graphics command, store a loop count value associated with the first graphics command, parse a second graphics command and store a loop wrap address based on the second graphics command. The graphics command parser may execute a command sequence identified by the second graphics command, parse a third graphics command, the third graphics command identifying an end of the command sequence, set a new loop count value, and iteratively execute the command sequence using the loop wrap address based on the new loop count value.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for simultaneous command streamers. For example, one embodiment of an apparatus comprises: a plurality of work element queues to store work elements for a plurality of thread contexts, each work element associated with a context descriptor identifying a context storage region in memory; a plurality of command streamers, each command streamer associated with one of the plurality of work element queues, the command streamers to independently submit instructions for execution as specified by the work elements; a thread dispatcher to evaluate the thread contexts including priority values, to tag each instruction with an execution identifier (ID), and to responsively dispatch each instruction including the execution ID in accordance with the thread context; and a plurality of graphics functional units to independently execute each instruction dispatched by the thread dispatcher and to associate each instruction with a thread context based on its execution ID.

Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide data processing device comprising a processor, a memory, and a large draw monitor comprising a processing unit to determine whether a vertex count for a graphics workload exceeds a threshold value, and in response to a determination that the vertex count for the graphics workload exceeds the threshold value, to divide the graphics workload over graphics processing units instantiated on multiple separate tiles. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.

Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatuses may provide for technology that determines a size of a meshlet and writes the meshlet to a full-sized buffer allocation if the size of the meshlet is greater than a partial-sized buffer allocation. The technology may also write the meshlet to the partial-sized buffer allocation if the size of the meshlet is not greater than the partial-sized buffer allocation.

Abstract: An apparatus to facilitate index mapping is disclosed. The apparatus includes a memory and index mapping hardware, coupled to the memory, to retrieve a bitmap from the memory, process the bitmap to generate one or more mapping vectors indicating bits in the bitmap that have been set and store the one or more mapping vectors in the memory.
