Abstract
An embodiment of a graphics apparatus may include a mask buffer to store a mask, a shader communicatively coupled to the mask buffer to apply the mask to a first shader pass, and a resolver communicatively coupled to the mask buffer to apply the mask to a resolve pass. The resolver may be configured to exclude a sample location not covered by the mask in the resolve pass. Other embodiments are disclosed and claimed.
Claims21
(canceled)
A computing system comprising:
- a central processing unit;
- a graphics processing unit;
- and
- a memory coupled to one or more of the central processing unit or the graphics processing unit, the memory including a set of instructions, which when executed by the one or more of the central processing unit or the graphics processing unit, cause the computing system to:
- store a mask;
- and
- apply the mask to a resolve pass based on one or more inside anti-aliasing sample locations of a first pixel that are inside the mask and a bypass of one or more outside anti-aliasing sample locations of the first pixel that are outside the mask.
4 more elements
An apparatus comprising:
- a memory;
- and
- logic communicatively coupled to the memory, wherein the logic is implemented at least partly in one or more of configurable logic or fixed-functionality logic hardware, the logic communicatively coupled to the memory to:
- store a mask;
- and
- apply the mask to a resolve pass based on one or more inside anti-aliasing sample locations of a first pixel that are inside the mask and a bypass of one or more outside anti-aliasing sample locations of the first pixel that are outside the mask.
3 more elements
An method comprising:
- storing a mask;
- and
- applying the mask to a resolve pass based on one or more inside anti-aliasing sample locations of a first pixel that are inside the mask and a bypass of one or more outside anti-aliasing sample locations of the first pixel that are outside the mask.
