Abstract
The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatus for graphics processing. For example, disclosed techniques facilitate improving bindless state processing at a graphics processor. Aspects of the present disclosure can receive, at a graphics processor, a shader program including a preamble section and a main instructions section. Aspects of the present disclosure can also execute, with a scalar processor dedicated to processing preamble sections, instructions of the preamble section to implement a bindless mechanism for loading constant data associated with the shader program. Additionally, aspects of the present disclosure can distribute the main instructions section and the constant data to a streaming processor for executing the shader program.
