  • Bit-count texture format
    Patent number: 9305388
    Abstract: A system, method, and computer program product are provided for using a bit-count texture format. A rasterized coverage bit mask is received by a texture processing unit from a bit-count format texture map, the rasterized coverage bit mask is converted to a scalar value, and the scalar value is processed while the rasterized coverage bit mask is retained in the bit-count format texture map. The coverage bit mask may be converted by computing a count of samples that are covered by at least one graphics primitive according to the rasterized coverage bit mask.
