Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatus for graphics processing. In some aspects, the apparatus can determine a plurality of sub-primitives corresponding to one or more primitives in an image. The apparatus can also determine visibility information for each of the sub-primitives. The visibility information can include information regarding whether the sub-primitive is visible. Further, the apparatus can identify one or more of the sub-primitives as visible based on the visibility information. The apparatus can also determine a sub-primitive visibility stream including the sub-primitives identified as visible. Additionally, the apparatus can render at least one of the sub-primitives identified as visible in the sub-primitive visibility stream. The apparatus can also identify at least one of the sub-primitives as not visible based on the determined visibility information. Moreover, the apparatus can determine to skip rendering the at least one of the sub-primitives identified as not visible.

Abstract: This disclosure describes a method and apparatus for performing tessellation in a graphics process. A graphics processing unit may be configured to determine tessellation factors for a first patch of the graphics data, determine, based on the tessellation factors, that a first edge of an outermost ring of the first patch will produce only degenerated sub-primitives, and skip performing tessellation for the first edge. A graphics processing unit may determine that a second edge of the outermost ring of the first patch will produce at least some normal sub-primitives, and perform tessellation for the second edge to produce output primitives.

Abstract: This disclosure describes techniques for executing shader programs in a graphics processing unit (GPU). In some examples, the techniques for executing shader programs may include executing, with a shader unit of a graphics processor, a shader program that performs vertex shader processing and that generates multiple output vertices for each input vertex that is received by the shader program. In further examples, the techniques for executing shader programs may include executing a merged vertex/geometry shader program using a non-replicated mode of execution. The non-replicated mode of execution may involve assigning each of a plurality of primitives to one merged vertex/geometry shader program instance per primitive and causing each of the instances to output a plurality of vertices. In additional examples, the techniques for executing shader programs may include techniques for selecting one of a non-replicated mode and a replicated mode for executing a merged vertex/geometry shader program.
