Abstract
A technique for graphics processing is disclosed. The technique includes processing an allocation command for a graphics resource object, wherein the graphics resource object is a representation of a data store, the allocation command reserving address space for the data store as a sparse data store with uncommitted memory; and processing a commitment command for the graphics resource object that specifies a range of the data store and includes an indicator of commitment state, wherein processing the commitment command sets a commitment state of memory for the specified range according to the indicator.
Claims20
A method for graphics processing, comprising:
- processing an allocation command for a graphics resource object, wherein the graphics resource object is a representation of a data store, the allocation command reserving address space for the data store as a sparse data store with uncommitted memory;
- and
- processing a commitment command for the graphics resource object that specifies a range of the data store and includes an indicator of commitment state, wherein processing the commitment command sets a commitment state of memory for the specified range according to the indicator.
A system, comprising:
- a memory configured to store a graphics resource object;
- and
- a processor configured to:
- process an allocation command for a graphics resource object, wherein the graphics resource object is a representation of a data store, the allocation command reserving address space for the data store as a sparse data store with uncommitted memory;
- and
- process a commitment command for the graphics resource object that specifies a range of the data store and includes an indicator of commitment state, wherein processing the commitment command sets a commitment state of memory for the specified range according to the indicator.
