Abstract
One embodiment provides for a data processing system comprising a memory module to store a multisample render target, the multisample render target to store multiple sample locations for each pixel in a set of pixels and a general-purpose graphics processor including a hardware graphics rendering pipeline to generate pixel color data to be output to the multisample render target, a multisample antialiasing compressor to request allocation of one or more planes to store color data for a set of sample locations of a pixel in the set of pixels, and a memory allocator to allocate memory to store color data associated with the multisample render target. The memory allocator can merge a memory allocation for multiple pixels having a sample associated with a same color value.
