Graphics processing methods and equipment

Abstract

The invention relates to systems, devices, machines and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for dealizing GPR in a GPU based on a GPR release mechanism. More specifically, the GPU can identify at least one unused branch in the executable shader based on constants defined for the executable shader. Based on at least one unused branch, the GPU can determine the number of GPRs that can be allocated from previously allocated GPRs; the GPU can allocate for the next line in a drawing instruction; a number of GPRs from previously allocated GPRs during the execution of the shader is based on the number of GPRs determined to be allocated. The invention also relates to a method and device for graphics processing.
