Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a decompression engine that can request compressed data to be transferred over a memory bus. In some cases, the memory bus is a width that requires multiple data transfers to transfer the requested data. In a case that requested data is to be presented in-order to the decompression engine, a re-order buffer can be used to store entries of data. When a head-of-line entry is received, the entry can be provided to the decompression engine. When a last entry in a group of one or more entries is received, all entries in the group are presented in-order to the decompression engine. In some examples, a decompression engine can borrow memory resources allocated for use by another memory client to expand a size of re-order buffer available for use. For example, a memory client with excess capacity and a slowest growth rate can be chosen to borrow memory resources from.

Abstract: A virtual reality apparatus and method are described for tile-based rendering. For example, one embodiment of an apparatus comprises: a set of on-chip geometry buffers including a first buffer to store geometry data, and a set of pointer buffers to store pointers to the geometry data; a tile-based immediate mode rendering (TBIMR) module to perform tile-based immediate mode rendering using geometry data and pointers stored within the set of on-chip geometry buffers; spill circuitry to determine when the on-chip geometry buffers are over-subscribed and responsively spill additional geometry data and/or pointers to an off-chip memory; and a prefetcher to start prefetching the geometry data from the off-chip memory as space becomes available within the on-chip geometry buffers, the TBIMR module to perform tile-based immediate mode rendering using the geometry data prefetched from the off-chip memory.

Abstract: Methods, systems and apparatuses provide for graphics processor technology that routes untyped unordered access view (UAV) messages to a next level memory cache, routes typed UAV messages and render target messages to a pixel pipeline, and processes, via the pixel pipeline, the typed UAV messages. The technology can also provide for the pixel pipeline to perform a format conversion of one or more pixels associated with a typed UAV message based on a surface format of a UAV resource, calculate a memory address for each pixel associated with the typed UAV message, and collect a plurality of fragments from processed typed UAV messages.
