Abstract

An example method of providing a solid texture map to a graphics processing unit (GPU) includes dividing a tile of renderable content into a plurality of partitions. The method also includes determining that a set of partitions of the plurality of partitions is a solid color. The method further includes generating a solid texture map indicating that the set of partitions of the plurality of partitions is a solid color. The method also includes providing access to the solid texture map to a GPU.
