Abstract
Techniques are disclosed relating to performing mid-render auxiliary compute tasks for graphics processing. In some embodiments, auxiliary compute tasks are performed during a render pass, using at least a portion of a memory context of the render pass, without accessing a shared memory during the render pass. Relative to flushing render data to shared memory to perform compute tasks, this may reduce memory accesses and/or cache thrashing, which may in turn increase performance and/or reduce power consumption.
