Abstract
An adaptive list stores previously received hardware state information that has been used to configure a graphics processing core. One or more filters are configured to filter packets from a packet stream directed to the graphics processing core. The packets are filtered based on a comparison of hardware state information included in the packet and hardware state information stored in the adaptive list. The adaptive list is modified in response to filtering the first packet. The filters can include a hardware filter and a software filter that selectively filters the packets based on whether the graphics processing core is limiting throughput. The adaptive list can be implemented as content-addressable memory (CAM), a cache, or a linked list.
