Abstract

See full text

A mechanism is described for dynamically optimizing color buffer clear performance in graphics processing units. A method of embodiments, as described herein, includes allocating and initializing a first set of control bits associated with a framebuffer in a graphics processing unit (GPU), and rendering a first frame, wherein the first set of control bits are associated with the first frame. The method may further include allocating a second set of control bits associated with a second frame, and rendering the second frame. The method may further include facilitating an expedited resolve operation of the second frame based on a frame-to-frame coherence associated with the first and second frames.
