| 发明名称 | State objects for specifying dynamic state | ||
| 摘要 | One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for transmitting state information associated with at least one graphics command to a graphics processor. The method includes the steps of generating a state object that specifies a set of properties that is needed to execute a first graphics command within the graphics processor, storing in the state object a value associated with a first property included in the set of properties, marking a second property included in the set of properties as a dynamic property, where a value associated with the second property is not stored in the state object and can be updated without having to modify the state object, and transmitting the state object to the graphics processor in order to execute the first graphics command. | ||

| 主权项 | 1. A computer-implemented method for transmitting state information associated with at least one graphics command to a graphics processor, the method comprising: generating a state object that specifies a set of properties that is needed to execute a first graphics command within the graphics processor; storing in the state object a value associated with a first property included in the set of properties; marking a second property included in the set of properties as a dynamic property, wherein a value associated with the second property is not stored in the state object and can be updated without having to modify the state object; and transmitting the state object to the graphics processor in order to execute the first graphics command. | ||
