摘要： An apparatus and method to render concave polygons. In some embodiments, the method includes setting an alpha buffer of a hardware rasterizer to zero, generating an alpha mask by rendering the concave polygon as a plurality of convex polygons of connected vertices, wherein an alpha value for each of the plurality of the plurality of polygons is toggled between a zero value and a second non-zero value on successive renderings of each portion of the plurality of the convex polygons. The alpha values may be stored in the alpha buffer, and the plurality of convex polygons may be re-rendered based on the generated alpha mask, where the stored alpha value is the second non-zero value.

摘要： Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques for reducing storage access bandwidth requirements in retrieving a texture image from a storage for applying textures to rendered objects by rendering the texture image itself into the storage to reduce the storage space in which the texture image is stored and to arrange portions of the texture image to be retrieved with fewer accesses. A device to render images includes a processor component; a color analyzer to determine a clear color of a texture image stored as source texture data; and a rendering routine to render the texture image into a storage as reduced texture data, the rendering routine to selectively store in the reduced texture data pixel color values retrieved from the source texture data that are associated with pixels of the texture image not colored with the clear color. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

摘要： Apparatus, systems and methods for handling portrait mode oriented display surfaces without requiring expensive hardware in the display sub-system are disclosed. For example, an apparatus is disclosed such that the rendering of graphics data to the portrait mode display surfaces is redirected at rendering time such that there is no need for adding complicated hardware in the display part of the graphics adapter in order to handle conventional displays—all of which have no circuitry to deal with data natively stored in a portrait mode surface. Additionally, an apparatus to handle direct surface access of a surface through a surface lock which has already been rotated is already described. This can either be done by copying of surface data or by an optimized proposed apparatus which eliminates this copy. Other implementations are also disclosed.

摘要： A technique for detecting texture sharing between multiple contexts having unique ID's includes obtaining a texture usage mask of a subject texture and a context ID of a subject context. A first logic operation with the texture usage mask of the subject texture and the context ID of the subject context is performed to produce a resultant value. The subject texture is determined not to be shared by another context with the subject context upon the resultant value being equal to a first predetermined value. The subject texture is determined to be shared by another context with the subject context upon the resultant value being equal to a second predetermined value which is different from the first predetermined value. The texture usage mask of a subject texture may be revised prior to the subject texture being used by another context by performing a second logic operation with the texture usage mask and a context ID of another context to produce a resultant new texture usage mask for the subject texture. The texture usage mask of a subject texture may be revised upon the subject texture no longer being used by a particular context by performing a third logic operation with the texture usage mask and a context ID of the particular context to produce a resultant new texture usage mask for the subject texture.

摘要： Lighting parameters are received as floating-point numbers from a software application via an application programming interface (API). The floating-point numbers are converted to a fixed-point representation having a preselected number of bits. The number of bits is selected in accordance with a predetermined number of bits required by a frame buffer, which thus establishes the number of color values supported by the graphics display system. In order to preserve accuracy to within the number of bits in each value in the frame buffer, the representation in the fixed-point engine includes additional bits relative to the number of bits in the color values sent to the frame buffer. Floating-point values received via the graphics API are converted to fixed-point representations by first prescaling the floating-point values. The fixed-point operations generate a lighting signal value in accordance with a lighting model, and the number of bits therein is reduced to correspond to the number of bits in each data value required by the frame buffer, and the lighting data values are sent as color values to the frame buffer.

摘要： In position-only shading, two geometry pipes exist, a trimmed down version called the Cull Pipe and a full version called the Replay Pipe. Thus, the Cull Pipe executes the position shaders in parallel with the main application, but typically generates the critical results much faster as it fetches and shades only the position attribute of the vertices and avoids the rasterization as well as the rendering of pixels for the frame buffer. Furthermore, the Cull Pipe uses these critical results to compute visibility information for all the triangles whether they are culled or not. On the other hand, the Replay Pipe consumes the visibility information to skip the culled triangles and shades only the visible triangles that are finally passed to the rasterization phase. Together the two pipes can hide the long cull runs of discarded triangles and can complete the work faster in some embodiments.
摘要翻译：在仅位置阴影中，存在两个几何管道，一个称为Cull管道的修剪版本以及称为Replay Pipe的完整版本。因此，Cull管道与主应用程序并行执行位置着色器，但是通常会生成关键结果的速度要快得多，因为它仅获取和仅阴影顶点的位置属性，并避免光栅化以及帧的像素渲染缓冲。此外，Cull管道使用这些关键结果来计算所有三角形的可见性信息，无论它们是否被淘汰。另一方面，重放管道消耗可见性信息来跳过被剔除的三角形，并仅遮蔽最终传递到光栅化阶段的可见三角形。两个管道一起可以隐藏丢弃的三角形的长的剔除运行，并且在一些实施例中可以更快地完成工作。
