Abstract: A multi-pass unit interoperates with a device driver to configure a screen space pipeline to perform multiple processing passes with buffered graphics primitives. The multi-pass unit receives primitive data and state bundles from the device driver. The primitive data includes a graphics primitive and a primitive mask. The primitive mask indicates the specific passes when the graphics primitive should be processed. The state bundles include one or more state settings and a state mask. The state mask indicates the specific passes where the state settings should be applied. The primitives and state settings are interleaved. For a given pass, the multi-pass unit extracts the interleaved state settings for that pass and configures the screen space pipeline according to those state settings. The multi-pass unit also extracts the interleaved graphics primitives to be processed in that pass. Then, the multi-pass unit causes the screen space pipeline to process those graphics primitives.

Abstract: A tile coalescer within a graphics processing pipeline coalesces coverage data into tiles. The coverage data indicates, for a set of XY positions, whether a graphics primitive covers those XY positions. The tile indicates, for a larger set of XY positions, whether one or more graphics primitives cover those XY positions. The tile coalescer includes coverage data in the tile only once for each XY position, thereby allowing the API ordering of the graphics primitives covering each XY position to be preserved. The tile is then distributed to a set of streaming multiprocessors for shading and blending operations. The different streaming multiprocessors execute thread groups to process the tile. In doing so, those thread groups may perform read-modify-write operations with data stored in memory. Each such thread group is scheduled to execute via atomic operations, and according to the API order of the associated graphics primitives.

Abstract: Techniques for passing dependencies in an application programming interface API includes identifying a plurality of passes of execution commands. For each set of passes, wherein one pass is a destination pass and the other pass is a source pass to each other, one or more dependencies, of one or more dependency types, are determined between the execution commands of the destination pass and the source pass. Pass objects are then created for each identified pass, wherein each pass object records the execution commands and dependencies between the corresponding destination and source passes.

Abstract: A parallel processor and a method of reducing texture cache invalidation are disclosed. In one embodiment, the parallel processor includes a cache configured to receive lines of data; and a parallel execution unit associated with the cache and configured to execute parallel counterparts of an operation. The parallel counterparts, when executed, are configured to create, in the cache, corresponding aliases of a line of data pertaining to the operation such that the parallel counterparts are operable to invalidate only the corresponding aliases.

Abstract: A method for reducing redundant rendering of frames includes receiving draw calls including state information for a frame. The method includes generating respective bounding boxes for the draw calls. The bounding box is generated based on vertex data, vertex programs and transformation matrices. The method includes comparing the draw calls of the frame to the draw calls of one or more previous frames and identifying draw calls that are not identical in the compared frames. The method includes identifying the bounding boxes containing altered regions of the frames based on the draw calls that are not identical in the compared frames. The method includes reducing the altered regions into a smaller set of clip rectangles and rendering only inside the clip rectangles.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed for performing memory access operations. A texture unit receives a memory access operation that includes a tuple associated with a first view in a plurality of views. The texture unit retrieves a first hash value associated with a first texture header in a plurality of texture headers, where the first texture header is related to the first view. The texture unit retrieves a second hash value associated with a second texture header in the plurality of texture headers, where the second texture header is related to a second view. The texture unit determines whether the first view is potentially aliased with the second view, based on the first and second hash values. If so, then the texture unit invalidates a cache entry in a cache memory associated with the second texture header. Otherwise, the texture unit maintains the cache entry.
