Texture memory is a type of digital storage that makes texture data readily available to video rendering processors (also known as GPUs), typically 3D graphics hardware. It is most often (but not always) implemented as specialized RAM (TRAM) that is designed for rapid reading and writing, enabling the graphics hardware increased performance in rendering 3D imagery.
Sampler feedback for texture space shading
This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for sampler feedback for texture space shading. A processor may assign each shading element in a set of shading elements associated with a geometry unit to a corresponding shading element group in a set of shading element groups. The processor may identify whether each shading element is a visible shading element. The processor may calculate a group offset value for each shading element group in the set of shading element groups based on a number of visible shading elements in the set of shading elements. 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.
