Systems and method for avoiding duplicative processing during generation of a procedural texture

TL;DR: In this article, a method of transferring data between two caches comprises sending a first message from a first processor to a second processor indicating that data is available for transfer from a cache associated with the first processor, requesting, from the second processor, a data transfer of the data from the first cache to an associated cache, transferring the data between the two caches in response to the request.

TL;DR: In this article, the authors describe a graphics processing apparatus and method consisting of an input assembler of a graphics pipeline to determine a first set of triangles to be drawn based on application-provided parameters.

TL;DR: In this article, an apparatus and method for asynchronous texel shading is described, which consists of a first shader to perform shading operations on a plurality of pixels in a first pass and to submit a request to shade texels; and a texel shader to responsively perform texels shading operations in response to the request from the first shader, the texels shader to write results to a procedural texture stored in a memory subsystem, the procedural texture to be read during a second pass by either another shader or another shader.

TL;DR: In this article, a memory management unit (MMU) is configured to manage sparse mappings, where the MMU processes requests to translate virtual addresses to physical addresses based on page table entries (PTEs) that indicate a sparse status.
