Techniques for capturing and executing graphics processing operations

A computing device for capturing and executing graphics processing operations, comprising:

• a memory storing one or more parameters or instructions for executing an operating system and one or more applications;
• a display interface configured for communicating signals to display images, on a display;
• and
• at least one processor coupled to the memory and the display interface, wherein the at least one processor is configured to:
• activate a memory trap function to cause a graphics processing unit (GPU) to report memory accesses in executing graphics processing operations;
• receive, based on activating the memory trap function and for each of a sequence of executed graphics processing operations executed by the GPU, a sequence of multiple memory accessing commands and associated portions of modified memory, wherein the associated portions of modified memory are modified from an initial state based on executing the sequence of executed graphics processing operations;
• store, in a repository, each of the sequence of multiple memory accessing commands and associated portions of modified memory;
• and
• provide, to the GPU, at least a portion of the sequence of multiple memory accessing commands and associated portions of modified memory to emulate re-executing of the sequence of executed graphics processing operations by the GPU based on at least the portion of the sequence of multiple memory accessing commands and the associated portions of modified memory.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium, comprising code executable by one or more processors for capturing and executing graphics processing operations, the code comprising code for:

• activating a memory trap function to cause a graphics processing unit (GPU) to report memory accesses in executing graphics processing operations;
• receiving, based on activating the memory trap function and for each of a sequence of executed graphics processing operations executed by the GPU, a sequence of multiple memory accessing commands and associated portions of modified memory, wherein the associated portions of modified memory are modified from an initial state based on executing the sequence of executed graphics processing operations;
• storing, in a repository, each of the sequence of multiple memory accessing commands and associated portions of modified memory;
• and
• providing, to the GPU, at least a portion of the sequence of multiple memory accessing commands and associated portions of modified memory to emulate re-executing of the sequence of executed graphics processing operations by the GPU based on at least the portion of the sequence of multiple memory accessing commands and the associated portions of modified memory.
