    摘要: Techniques are described that can delay or even prevent use of memory to store triangles associated with tiles as well as processing resources associated with vertex shading and binning triangles. The techniques can also provide better load balancing among a set of cores, and hence provide better performance. A bounding volume is generated to represent a geometry group. Culling takes place to determine whether a geometry group is to have triangles rendered. Vertex shading and association of triangles with tiles can be performed across multiple cores in parallel. Processing resources are allocated for rasterizing tiles whose triangles have been vertex shaded and binned over tiles whose triangles have yet to be vertex shaded and binned. Rasterization of triangles of different tiles can be performed by multiple cores in parallel.

    摘要: During compilation, the interval bounds for a programmable culling unit are calculated if possible. For each variable, interval bounds are calculated during the compilation, and the bounds together with other metadata are used to generate an optimized culling program. If not possible, then an assumption may be made and the assumption used to compile the code. If the assumption proves to be invalid, a new assumption could be made and the code may be recompiled in some embodiments.

    摘要: In accordance with some embodiments, a tile shader executes on a group of pixels prior to a pixel shader. The tile of pixels may be rectangular in some embodiments. The tile may be executed hierarchically, refining each tile into smaller subtiles until the pixel or sample level is reached. The tile shader program can be written to discard groups of pixels, thereby quickly removing areas of the bounding triangles that lie outside the shape being rasterized or quickly discarding groups of pixel shader executions that will not contribute to the final image.
