Systems and methods may provide for receiving a pixel shader and sending the pixel shader to shader bypass hardware if the pixel shader and a render target associated with the pixel shader satisfy a simplicity condition. In one example, the shader bypass hardware is dedicated to pixel shaders and associated render targets that satisfy the simplicity condition.

Dedicated hardware unit to offload blending of values from memory

Various embodiments are generally directed to techniques to generate stereoscopic views of a scene for purposes of providing an illusion of depth to the scene. An apparatus for stereoscopic rendering includes a processor component; a vertex shader to generate a plurality of vertices corresponding to primitives that are a representation of the scene to be displayed, the vertex shader transforming a first instance of the plurality of vertices to a first projected space in a first portion of a two-dimensional (2D) area and transforming a second instance of the plurality of vertices to a second projected space in the 2D area, the first portion of the 2D area corresponding to a first stereoscopic view of the scene and the second portion of the 2D area corresponding to a second stereoscopic view of the scene.

Various embodiments are generally directed to an apparatus, method and other techniques for monitoring a task of a graphics processing unit (GPU) by a graphics driver, determining if the task is complete, determining an average task completion time for the task if the task is not complete and enabling a sleep state for a processing circuit for a sleep state time if the average task completion time is greater than the sleep state time.
