The processor may calculate an element offset value for each shading element based on a number of visible shading elements. The processor may allocate, based on the element offset value and the group offset value, texture memory to the visible shading elements.

Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for a dicing oracle for texture space shading. A processor obtains an indication of a UV parameterization for each of a set of geometry units and a target number of pixels per region of the UV parameterization, where the UV parameterization includes a first set of UV coordinates for an object space.

The processor calculates a resolution for a mip region map based on the set of derivatives and the target number of pixels per region. The processor outputs an indication of the calculated resolution.

Abstract: A client device of a split rendering graphics processing architecture, receives an encoded shading atlas for a current frame. The encoded shading atlas is characterized by slices. The client decodes the received encoded shading atlas and identifies unsuccessfully decoded slices. The client then determines whether each patch of the decoded shading atlas intersects an identified unsuccessfully decoded slice. The client determines, for each intersecting patch, whether a prior valid version of each intersecting patch is stored at the client device. The client error conceals each intersecting patch having a prior valid version stored at the client device with the corresponding prior valid version to create an error concealed atlas. The client renders the current frame using the error concealed atlas.

Abstract: Graphics processing in a client device includes receiving, as part of a vector streaming split rendering process, a bit stream encoding a sequence of shading atlases of the process. Each shading atlas includes blocks. The client decodes a particular shading atlas of the sequence of shading atlases, and determines that a particular block of the particular shading atlas was unsuccessfully decoded. The client identifies a stored block of a prior shading atlas of the sequence of shading atlases as a successfully decoded earlier version of the particular block. The client renders the particular shading atlas using the stored block instead of the particular block.

Abstract: An improved wireless split rendering system for displaying Extended Reality (XR) content is discussed. A rendering server and client head-mounted device (HMD) may communicate over a wireless medium, where communication control is given to a server application layer logic. This allows the server to use request pose information from the HMD only when needed for rendering, while preserving bandwidth on the wireless medium for transmitting frames of the rendered content. This reduces contention and improves channel efficiency.
