20140071128 | TEXEL DATA STRUCTURE FOR GRAPHICS PROCESSING UNIT PROGRAMMABLE SHADER AND METHOD OF OPERATION THEREOF - A graphics processing subsystem and a method of shading. In one embodiment, the subsystem includes: (1) a memory configured to contain a texel data structure according to which multiple primitive texels corresponding to a particular composite texel are contained in a single page of the memory and (2) a graphics processing unit configured to communicate with the memory via a data bus and execute a shader to fetch the multiple primitive texels contained in the single page to create the particular composite texel. | 03-13-2014 |
20150084974 | TECHNIQUES FOR INTERLEAVING SURFACES - One embodiment sets forth a method for allocating memory to surfaces. A software application specifies surface data, including interleaving state data. Based on the interleaving state data, a surface access unit bloats addressees derived from discrete coordinates associated with the surface, creating a bloated virtual address space with a predictable pattern of addresses that do not correspond to data. Advantageously, by creating predictable regions of addresses that do not correspond to data, the software application program may configure the surface to share physical memory space with one or more other surfaces. In particular, the software application may map the virtual address space together with one or more virtual address spaces corresponding to complementary data patterns to the same physical base address. And, by overlapping the virtual address spaces onto the same pages in physical address space, the physical memory may be more densely packed than by using prior-art allocation techniques. | 03-26-2015 |

20110087840 | EFFICIENT LINE AND PAGE ORGANIZATION FOR COMPRESSION STATUS BIT CACHING - One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for performing a memory access request to compressed data within a virtually mapped memory system comprising an arbitrary number of partitions. A virtual address is mapped to a linear physical address, specified by a page table entry (PTE). The PTE is configured to store compression attributes, which are used to locate compression status for a corresponding physical memory page within a compression status bit cache. The compression status bit cache operates in conjunction with a compression status bit backing store. If compression status is available from the compression status bit cache, then the memory access request proceeds using the compression status. If the compression status bit cache misses, then the miss triggers a fill operation from the backing store. After the fill completes, memory access proceeds using the newly filled compression status information. | 04-14-2011 |

20130300754 | CULL STREAMS FOR FINE-GRAINED RENDERING PREDICATION - One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique to perform fine-grained rendering predication using an IGPU. A graphics driver divides a 3D object into batches of triangles. The IGPU processes each batch of triangles through a modified rendering pipeline to determine if the batch is culled. The IGPU writes bits into a bitstream corresponding to the visibility of the batches. Advantageously, this approach to rendering predication provides fine-grained culling without adding unnecessary overhead, thereby optimizing both hardware resources and performance. | 11-14-2013 |
