The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatus for graphics processing. Aspects of the present disclosure can determine a portion of a display area, where the portion of the display area is determined based on display content of the display area. Further, aspects of the present disclosure can communicate display information corresponding to the determined portion of the display area. Additionally, aspects of the present disclosure can update the display information corresponding to the determined portion of the display area. Aspects of the present disclosure can also communicate the updated display information corresponding to the determined portion of the display area. Aspects of the present disclosure can also render at least some display content of the display area corresponding to the determined portion of the display area. In some aspects, the updated display information can be based on the rendered display content of the display area.

Methods and apparatus for reducing the transfer of rendering information

Methods, systems, and devices for graphics processer unit (GPU) operations are described. A device may monitor one or more states of a GPU during a duration. Based on monitoring the one or more GPU states, the device may determine an execution of a GPU command that is common to at least two GPU operations for clearing the GPU buffer. The device may determine whether the GPU clear command has previously been executed during a duration or a GPU cycle in which the device monitored the GPU states. The device may process the GPU clear command based on the determination of whether the GPU clear command has previously been executed. For example, the device may drop the GPU clear command based on the determination or modify a portion of the GPU clear command and execute at least the modified portion of the GPU clear command.
