Abstract
A graphics system interleaves a combination of graphics renderer operations and compute shader operations. A set of API calls is analyzed to determine dependencies and identify candidates for interleaving. A compute shader is adapted to have a tiled access pattern. The interleaving is scheduled to reduce a requirement to access an external memory to perform reads and writes of intermediate data.
