    摘要: The symmetrical properties of a group of vertices are leveraged to reconstruct the group using vertex data for a subset of the vertices and a set of control data. The subset of vertices is symmetrical to one or more other subsets of vertices in the group, and the control data includes information to reconstruct the one or more other subsets using the vertex data for the first set of vertices and symmetrical characteristics of the group. In some embodiments, reconstruction is performed using a geometry shader in a graphics processor to compute the additional vertices.

    摘要: A method of debugging an application operable on a graphics pipeline subunit. A plurality of draw call groups is accessed. Each draw call group comprises a respective plurality of draw calls, sharing common state attributes of a prescribed state. The plurality of selectable draw call groups is displayed. In response to a user selection, a plurality of selectable draw calls associated with the selected draw call group is displayed. A plurality of selectable graphics pipeline subunits is displayed. In response to a user selection of a selected subunit, a plurality of editable state information and graphical primitives associated with a selected draw call are displayed. The plurality of editable state information may be grouped such that a portion sharing common attributes of the prescribed state are in one group. In response to a user selection, changes may be made to the selected draw call or the selected draw call group.

    摘要: A method of calculating utilization and bottleneck performance parameters of a processing unit within a graphical processing unit (GPU). The utilization is a measure of a percentage that the processing unit is utilized over a draw call execution time. The bottleneck is the sum of the time period that the processing unit is active, the time period that the processing unit is full and does not accept data from an upstream processing unit, minus the time period that the processing unit is paused because the downstream processing unit is busy and cannot accept data, all over the execution time of the draw call. Performance parameters may be determined by sampling the processing unit and incrementing a counter when a condition is true. The method is repeated for the same draw call, for each processing unit of the GPU, and for a plurality of draw calls comprising a frame.

    摘要: A computer-implemented method and user interface for organizing graphical operations and displaying performance data of a graphics processing pipeline. More specifically, embodiments provide a convenient and effective mechanism for enhancing graphics processing by automatically determining and grouping graphical operations with similar state attributes relating to one or more units of the graphics pipeline. As such, pipeline adjustments for reducing execution time of one graphical operation may benefit other graphical operations with similar state attributes, thereby reducing the number of pipeline adjustments and allowing more careful selection of graphical operations to increase performance and reduce image degradation. Also, the display of the grouped graphical operations also provides information for determining the troublesome operations. In one embodiment, the groups are ranked by their respective execution time. Additionally, other forms of performance data may be displayed for graphical operations with similar state attributes, thereby providing additional information to guide enhancement operations.
