MULTI-BUFFER SUPPORT FOR OFF-SCREEN SURFACES IN A GRAPHICS PROCESSING SYSTEM

摘要

In general, the present disclosure describes various techniques for providing multi-buffer support for off-screen surfaces in a graphics system. One example device includes one or more buffer areas and one or more processors. The one or more processors are configured to allocate multiple buffers within the buffer space that are all associated with an off-screen surface using in graphics processing. The one or more processors are further configured to identify a first buffer within the buffers as a write buffer for the off-screen surface and to further identify a second buffer within the buffers as a read buffer for the off-screen surface, such that information relating to the off-screen surface is written into the first buffer during a write operation and information relating to the off-screen surface is read out of the second buffer during a read operation.
