Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for configurable aprons for expanded binning. Aspects of the present disclosure include identifying one or more pixel tiles in at least one bin and determining edge information for each pixel tile of the one or more pixel tiles. The edge information may be associated with one or more pixels adjacent to each pixel tile. The present disclosure further describes determining whether at least one adjacent bin is visible based on the edge information for each pixel tile, where the at least one adjacent bin may be adjacent to the at least one bin.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for variable rate tessellation. A graphics processor may receive data for geometry processing of a plurality of patches in a draw call. The graphics processor may reduce a tessellation factor of each of the plurality of patches based on a property of each of the plurality of patches. The reduced tessellation factor may correspond to a TRF. The property may correspond to a shading rate or a number of visible pixels. The graphics processor may apply the TRF for each of the plurality of patches. The graphics processor may render each of the plurality of patches based on the applied TRF for each of the plurality of patches.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatus for graphics processing. The present disclosure can calculate a center-edge distance of a first pixel, the center-edge distance of the first pixel equal to a distance from a first pixel center to one or more edges of a first primitive. Additionally, the present disclosure can store the center-edge distance of the first pixel when the first primitive is visible in a scene. The present disclosure can also determine an amount of overlap between the first pixel and the first primitive. Further, the present disclosure can blend a color of the first pixel with a color of a second pixel based on at least one of the center-edge distance of the first pixel or the amount of overlap between the first pixel and the first primitive.
