摘要： Embodiments for programming a graphics pipeline, and modules within the graphics pipeline, are detailed herein. Several of these embodiments utilize offset registers associated with the instruction tables for the modules within the pipeline. The offset register serves as a pointer to locations in the instruction table, which allows instructions to be written to be instruction table, without requiring that the shader programs have explicit addresses. One embodiment describes a method of programming a graphics pipeline. This method involves accessing the shader program stored in memory. A shader instruction is generated from this shader program, and loaded into an instruction table associated with a target module graphics pipeline. The shader instruction is loaded into the instruction table at the location indicated by an offset register.

摘要： Detailed herein are approaches to enabling conditional execution of instructions in a graphics pipeline. In one embodiment, a method of conditional execution controller operation is detailed. The method involves configuring the conditional execution controller to evaluate conditional test. A pixel data packet is received into the conditional execution controller, and evaluated, with reference to the conditional test. A conditional execution flag, associated with the pixel data packet, is set, to indicate whether a conditional operation should be performed on the pixel data packet.

摘要： A method and system for accessing texture data is disclosed. The method includes the step of storing a low resolution version of a block of texture data in a low latency memory and storing a high resolution version of the block of texture data in high latency memory. Upon a request for the high resolution version of the block of texture data, the high resolution version is fetched from the high latency memory to the low latency memory. The low resolution version is subsequently accessed from the low latency memory until the high resolution version is fetched into the low latency memory.

摘要： Early Z scoreboard tracking systems and methods in accordance with the present invention are described. Multiple pixels are received and a pixel depth raster operation is performed on the pixels. The pixel depth raster operation comprises discarding a pixel that is occluded. In one exemplary implementation, the depth raster operation is done at a faster rate than a color raster operation. Pixels that pass the depth raster operation are checked for screen coincidence. Pixels with screen coincidence are stalled and pixels without screen coincidence are forwarded to lower stages of the pipeline. The lower stages of the pipeline are programmable and pixel flight time can vary (e.g., can include multiple passes through the lower stages). Execution through the lower stages is directed by a program sequencer which also directs notification to the pixel flight tracking when a pixel is done processing.

摘要： A rasterizer stage configured to implement multiple interpolators for graphics pipeline. The rasterizer stage includes a plurality of simultaneously operable low precision interpolators for computing a first set of pixel parameters for pixels of a geometric primitive and a plurality of simultaneously operable high precision interpolators for computing a second set of pixel parameters for pixels of the geometric primitive. The rasterizer stage also includes an output mechanism coupled to the interpolators for routing computed pixel parameters into a memory array. Parameters may be programmably assigned to the interpolators and the results thereof may be programmably assigned to portions of a pixel packet.
