Abstract

Example techniques are described for generating graphics content by obtaining texture operation instructions corresponding to a texture operation, in response to determining at least one of insufficient general purpose register space is available for the texture operation or insufficient wave slots are available for the texture operation, generating an indication that the texture operation corresponds to a deferred wave, executing the texture operation, sending, to a texture processor, initial texture sample instructions corresponding to the texture operation that was executed, and receiving texture mapped data corresponding to the initial texture sample instructions.
