Abstract
Disclosed herein are systems and methods for packing stream outputs of a geometry shader into an output buffer. In one aspect, an exemplary method comprises generating, using vertices of primitives received from one or more geometry shaders, a stream output data together with an index buffer, where each absent vertex is replaced with a primitive restart, rebuilding the index buffer to a list format; and unwrapping the index data of the rebuilt index buffer to a packed buffer.
