  • SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR MULTIPLEXER TREE INDEXING
    Publication number: 20180165314
    Abstract: Described herein is a system and method for multiplexer tree (muxtree) indexing. Muxtree indexing performs hashing and row reduction in parallel by use of each select bit only once in a particular path of the muxtree. The muxtree indexing generates a different final index as compared to conventional hashed indexing but still results in a fair hash, where all table entries get used with equal distribution with uniformly random selects.

  • OUT-OF-ORDER CACHE RETURNS
    Publication number: 20180165790
    Abstract: Techniques for allowing cache access returns out of order are disclosed. A return ordering queue exists for each of several cache access types and stores outstanding cache accesses in the order in which those accesses were made. When a cache access request for a particular type is at the head of the return ordering queue for that type and the cache access is available for return to the wavefront that made that access, the cache system returns the cache access to the wavefront. Thus, cache accesses can be returned out of order with respect to cache accesses of different types. Allowing out-of-order returns can help to improve latency, for example in the situation where a relatively low-latency access type (e.g., a read) is issued after a relatively high-latency access type (e.g., a texture sampler operation).

  • REMOVING OR IDENTIFYING OVERLAPPING FRAGMENTS AFTER Z-CULLING
    Publication number: 20180165872
    Abstract: Techniques for removing or identifying overlapping fragments in a fragment stream after z-culling are disclosed. The techniques include maintaining a first-in-first-out buffer that stores post-z-cull fragments. Each time a new fragment is received at the buffer, the screen position of the fragment is checked against all other fragments in the buffer. If the screen position of the fragment matches the screen position of a fragment in the buffer, then the fragment in the buffer is removed or marked as overlapping. If the screen position of the fragment does not match the screen position of any fragment in the buffer, then no modification is performed to fragments already in the buffer. In either case, he fragment is added to the buffer. The contents of the buffer are transmitted to the pixel shader for pixel shading at a later time.
