Abstract: Aspects presented herein relate to methods and devices for graphics processing including an apparatus, e.g., a GPU or CPU. The apparatus may divide a current frame of a plurality of frames into a plurality of blocks. The apparatus may also generate an encoding value representing data for each of the plurality of blocks in the current frame. Further, the apparatus may compare the encoding value representing the data for each block in the current frame with a previous encoding value representing previous data for a corresponding block in a previous frame. The apparatus may also store the data for at least one block in the current frame if the encoding value representing the data for the at least one block is not similar to the previous encoding value representing the previous data for at least one corresponding block in the previous frame.

Abstract: Example techniques are described for generating graphics content by obtaining a rendering command for a frame of the graphics content, obtaining an eye position of a user after obtaining the rendering command, determining a foveation parameter for a region of the graphics content based on the eye position; and rendering a tile, of the frame, corresponding to the region of the graphics content using the foveation parameter and the rendering command.

Abstract: Example techniques are described for generating graphics content by assigning a first region of the graphics content to a first tile, assigning a second region of the graphics content to a second tile, determining, at the first tile and at a first resolution, a first set of samples of the graphics content for each pixel of multiple pixels associated with the first region, determining, at the second tile and at a second resolution that is lower than the first resolution, a second set of samples of the graphics content for each pixel of multiple pixels associated with the second region, downsampling the first set of samples into a combined set of samples, preserving samples of the second set of samples to generate a third set of samples with preserved samples, storing the combined set of samples, and storing the third set of samples with preserved samples.

Abstract: Aspects presented herein relate to methods and devices for graphics processing including an apparatus, e.g., a GPU or a CPU. The apparatus may obtain visibility information for a set of primitives in at least one frame associated with the graphics processing, where the at least one frame includes a plurality of bins, such that at least one bin of the plurality of bins includes at least one primitive of the set of primitives. The apparatus may also configure a density map based on the visibility information for the set of primitives, where the density map includes density data associated with an amount of the set of primitives in each of the plurality of bins. Further, the apparatus may map the density data for each of the plurality of bins to a shading rate for each of the plurality of bins.

Abstract: A method, a computer-readable medium, and an apparatus are provided. The apparatus may be configured to receive information indicative of a fovea region. The apparatus may be configured to identify, based on the information indicative of the fovea region, high priority bins and low priority bins. The apparatus may be configured to determine a rendering time allotment for the frame. The apparatus may be configured to determine that the rendering time allotment for the frame will be exceeded, based on an amount of time used to render the high priority bins and the low priority bins. The apparatus may be configured to render, based on the determination that the rendering time allotment for the frame will be exceeded, at least one of the low priority bins at a first quality instead of a second quality.
