Abstract
A graphics system has output states corresponding to a transformation of a user state of a software application to a graphics hardware state. The graphics system utilizes a technique, such as a conventional output state cache, to recognize that the overall state vector has taken on a previously-seen value. Additionally, a transition cache maps transitions in changing input state to changing output state. The transition cache is used to provide an alternative technique to determine output states based on transitions of input state.
