Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for runtime optimization of the shader execution flow. A graphics processor may obtain instruction execution data associated with a graphics workload, the instruction execution data including graphics data for a set of shader operations. The graphics processor may configure, at a first iteration, at least one predication value based on the instruction execution data including the graphics data for the set of shader operations. The graphics processor may adjust, at a second iteration, an execution flow of the graphics workload based on the configured at least one predication value, the execution flow of the graphics workload including the set of shader operations. The graphics processor may execute or refrain from executing, at the second iteration, each of the set of shader operations based on the adjusted execution flow of the graphics workload.

Abstract: Aspects presented herein relate to methods and devices for graphics processing including an apparatus, e.g., a GPU. The apparatus may receive a set of draw call instructions corresponding to a graphics workload, where the set of draw call instructions is associated with at least one run-time parameter. The apparatus may also obtain a first shader program associated with storing data in a system memory and at least one second shader program associated with storing data in a constant memory. Further, the apparatus may execute the first shader program or the at least one second shader program based on whether the at least one run-time parameter is less than or equal to a size of the constant memory. The apparatus may also update or maintain a configuration of a shader processor or a streaming processor based on executing the first shader program or the at least one second shader program.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatus for graphics processing. For example, disclosed techniques facilitate improving bindless state processing at a graphics processor. Aspects of the present disclosure can receive, at a graphics processor, a shader program including a preamble section and a main instructions section. Aspects of the present disclosure can also execute, with a scalar processor dedicated to processing preamble sections, instructions of the preamble section to implement a bindless mechanism for loading constant data associated with the shader program. Additionally, aspects of the present disclosure can distribute the main instructions section and the constant data to a streaming processor for executing the shader program.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and devices for graphics processing including an apparatus, e.g., a GPU. The apparatus may generate a table including a plurality of entries to store data associated with at least one of a constant value or an immediate value. The apparatus may also process, upon generating the table, first data including at least one of a constant value or an immediate value. Further, the apparatus may store, in the generated table, at least one of the constant value or the immediate value of the first data. The apparatus may also transmit, upon storing at least one of the constant value or the immediate value in the table, the table including the stored at least one of the constant value or the immediate value of the first data.

Abstract: Example techniques are described for generating graphics content by obtaining texture operation instructions corresponding to a texture operation, in response to determining at least one of insufficient general purpose register space is available for the texture operation or insufficient wave slots are available for the texture operation, generating an indication that the texture operation corresponds to a deferred wave, executing the texture operation, sending, to a texture processor, initial texture sample instructions corresponding to the texture operation that was executed, and receiving texture mapped data corresponding to the initial texture sample instructions.
