摘要： A system, method and computer program product are provided for transparency rendering in a graphics pipeline. Initially, colored-transparency information is collected from a plurality of depth layers (i.e. colored-transparency layers, etc.) in a scene to be rendered. The collected colored-transparency information is then stored in memory. The colored-transparency information from the depth layers may then be blended in a predetermined order.

摘要： Systems and methods for dynamically canceling texture fetches may improve texture mapping performance. A shader program compiler inserts condition code writes and condition code comparison operations for shader program instructions that contribute to a texture read instruction and do not need to be executed if certain conditions are met. During execution of the shader program, the inserted condition codes are used to compute a dynamic writemask that indicates if the texture data resulting from the texture read is unnecessary. The dynamic writemask is used to cancel unnecessary texture fetches during execution of the shader program.
摘要翻译：用于动态取消纹理提取的系统和方法可以提高纹理映射性能。着色器程序编译器为有助于纹理读取指令的着色器程序指令插入条件代码写入和条件代码比较操作，并且在满足某些条件时不需要执行。在执行着色器程序期间，插入的条件代码用于计算动态写入掩码，指示纹理读取产生的纹理数据是否不必要。动态写入掩码用于在着色器程序执行期间取消不必要的纹理提取。

摘要： A system and method are provided for using information from at least one depth layer and for collecting information about at least one additional depth layer utilizing a graphics pipeline. Initially, constraining depth layers are provided which, in turn, define a plurality of depth constraints. Next, a plurality of tests is performed involving the constraining depth layers for collecting information about at least one additional depth layer. The information relating to the at least one depth layer may then be used to improve processing in the graphics pipeline. By the foregoing multiple tests, information relating to a plurality of depth layers may be collected during each of a plurality of rendering passes. Initially, information relating to the constraining depth layers and associated depth constraints is provided in the aforementioned manner. Thereafter, information relating to at least one additional depth layer is collected during additional rendering passes using multiple tests on each rendering pass. Once collected, such information relating to the constraining depth layers and the information relating to the at least one additional depth layer may be used to further improve processing in the graphics pipeline.

摘要： A system and method are provided for improved shadow mapping in a graphics pipeline. Raw depth values are initially collected from two depth layers in a scene to be rendered. Shadow-map depth values are then calculated utilizing the raw depth values. The scene is then shadow mapped utilizing the shadow-map depth values in order to improve the appearance of shadows in a rendered scene. The various steps are carried out by a hardware-implemented graphics pipeline, which may include texturing or shadowing mapping hardware.

摘要： Multisampling techniques provide temporal as well as spatial antialiasing. Coverage for a primitive is determined at multiple sample locations for a pixel. In one embodiment, coverage is determined using boundary equations representing a boundary surface of the primitive in a three-dimensional space-time. A shading value for the primitive is computed for the pixel and stored for each coverage sample location of the pixel that is covered by the primitive. The sample locations are distributed in both space and time, and multiple sample locations share a single shading computation. The multisampling techniques are extendable to other dimensions that correspond to other image attributes.

摘要： Circuits, methods, and apparatus that provide for partial texture load instructions. Instead of one instruction that may take several shader passes to complete, several instructions are issued, where each instruction is an instruction to retrieve a part or portion of a texture. While each instruction is performed, the other shader circuits can perform other instructions, thus increasing the utilization of the shader circuits when large textures are read from memory. Since several shader passes may be required to read a texture, if a particular instruction needs the texture, one exemplary embodiment reorders instructions such that other instructions are performed before the particular instruction that needs the texture.

摘要： A pixel center position that is not covered by a primitive covering a portion of the pixel is displaced to lie within a fragment formed by the intersection of the primitive and the pixel. X,y coordinates of a pixel center are adjusted to displace the pixel center position to lie within the fragment, affecting actual texture map coordinates or barycentric weights. Alternatively, a centroid sub-pixel sample position is determined based on coverage data for the pixel and a multisample mode. The centroid sub-pixel sample position is used to compute pixel or sub-pixel parameters for the fragment.

摘要： A new method of operating a fragment shader to produce complex video content comprised of a video image or images, such as from a DVD player, that overlays a fragment shader-processed background. Pixels are fragment shader-processed during one loop or set of loops through a texture processing stations to produce a fragment shader-processed background. Then, at least some of those pixels are merged with the video or images to produce complex video content. The resulting complex image is then made available for further processing.

摘要： A method for processing divergent samples in a programmable graphics processing unit is described. In one embodiment, the method includes the step of incrementing a subroutine depth of a first sample to designate that first call instructions are to be executed on the first sample. The method also includes the steps of pushing state data of a second sample upon which the first call instructions are not to be executed onto a global stack and executing the first call instructions on the first sample.
