Abstract
One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for performing a computer-implemented method that controls memory access operations. A stream of graphics commands includes at least one memory barrier command. Each memory barrier command in the stream of graphics command delays memory access operations scheduled for any command specified after the memory barrier command until all memory access operations scheduled for commands specified prior to the memory barrier command have completely executed.
