Abstract
Embodiments described herein are generally directed to a local cache structure within a shared function of a 3D pipeline that facilitates efficient caching of resource state. In an example, the cache structure is maintained within a sub-core of a GPU. The local cache structure includes (i) an SC having entries each containing a state of a binded resource, and (ii) a DSAT having entries each containing an index into the SC. The DSAT is tagged by SBTO values representing addresses of entries of a binding table. A request, including information indicative of an SBTO pointing to an entry within the binding table, is received for a state of a particular binded resource being accessed by a shared function of the 3D pipeline. Based on the SBTO and during a single access to the cache structure, a determination is made regarding whether the state of the particular binded resource is present.
