Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for compatible compression for different types of image views. A graphics processor may select a first common format of a plurality of common formats for at least one image based on at least one of application data or first metadata associated with the at least one image. The graphics processor may encode the at least one image based on the selected first common format for the at least one image. The graphics processor may select a second common format for the at least one image based on second metadata of the at least one image. The second common format may be identical to the first common format. The graphics processor may decode the at least one image based on the selected second common format for the at least one image.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for fast incremental shared constants. In aspects, a CPU may determine/update shared constant data for a first draw call of a plurality of draw calls. The shared constant data, which may correspond to at least one shader, may be updated based on a draw call update for the first draw call. The CPU may communicate the updated shared constant data for the first draw call to a GPU. The GPU may receive, in at least one register, the updated shared constant data from the CPU and configure the at least one register based on the updated shared constant data corresponding to the draw call update of the first draw call of the plurality of draw calls.

Abstract: The present disclosure relates to graphics processing. An apparatus of the present disclosure may determine visibility streams corresponding to a target and a set of bins into which the target is divided. The apparatus may select one of a first rendering mode or a second rendering mode for the target based on the first visibility stream and based on the set of second visibility streams. When the first rendering mode is select, the apparatus may configure each of the set of bins into a first subset associated with a first type of rendering pass or a second subset associated with a second type of rendering pass. The apparatus may then render the target based on the selected one of the first rendering mode or the second rendering mode and, if applicable, based on the first rendering pass type or the second rendering pass type.

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 hybrid rendering of video/graphics content by a graphics processing unit. The apparatus can configure the graphics processing unit of a display apparatus to perform multiple rendering passes for a frame of a scene to be displayed on a display device. Moreover, the apparatus can control the graphics processing unit to perform a first rendering pass of the multiple rendering passes to generate a first render target that is stored in either an on-chip graphics memory of the GPU or a system of the display apparatus. The apparatus can also control the graphics processing unit to perform a second rendering pass to generate a second render target that is alternatively stored in the system memory of the display apparatus or on-chip graphics memory of the GPU.
