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 apparatus for graphics processing, e.g., a GPU. The apparatus may receive an image including a plurality of pixels associated with one or more workgroups and one or more pixel tiles, each of the workgroups and the pixel tiles including one or more pixels of the plurality of pixels. The apparatus may determine whether the one or more workgroups are misaligned with the one or more pixel tiles. The apparatus may determine a conversion order of the one or more workgroups when the one or more workgroups are misaligned with the one or more pixel tiles, the conversion order corresponding to a common multiple of one of the one or more workgroups and one of the one or more pixel tiles. The apparatus may convert each of the one or more workgroups based on the conversion order of the one or more workgroups.
