Abstract: A hybrid hierarchical cache is implemented at the same level in the access pipeline, to get the faster access behavior of a smaller cache and, at the same time, a higher hit rate at lower power for a larger cache, in some embodiments. A split cache at the same level in the access pipeline includes two caches that work together. In the hybrid, split, low level cache (e.g., L1) evictions are coordinated locally between the two L1 portions, and on a miss to both L1 portions, a line is allocated from a larger L2 cache to the smallest L1 cache.

Abstract: The systems, apparatuses and methods may provide a way to adaptively process and aggressively cull geometry data. Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for processing, by a positional only shading pipeline (POSH), geometry data including surface triangles for a digital representation of a scene. More particularly, systems, apparatuses and methods may provide a way to identify surface triangles in one or more exclusion zones and non-exclusion zones, and cull surface triangles surface triangles in one or more exclusion zones.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus relating to techniques for avoiding cache lookup for cold cache. In an example, an apparatus comprises logic, at least partially comprising hardware logic, to receive, in a read/modify/write (RMW) pipeline, a cache access request from a requestor, wherein the cache request comprises a cache set identifier associated with requested data in the cache set, determine whether the cache set associated with the cache set identifier is in an inaccessible invalid state, and in response to a determination that the cache set is in an inaccessible state or an invalid state, to terminate the cache access request. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.

Abstract: Apparatus and method for a hierarchical beam tracer. For example, one embodiment of an apparatus comprises: a beam generator to generate beam data associated with a beam projected into a graphics scene; a bounding volume hierarchy (BVH) generator to generate BVH data comprising a plurality of hierarchically arranged BVH nodes; a hierarchical beam-based traversal unit to determine whether the beam intersects a current BVH node and, if so, to responsively subdivide the beam into N child beams to test against the current BVH node and/or to traverse further down the BVH hierarchy to select a new BVH node, wherein the hierarchical beam-based traversal unit is to iteratively subdivide successive intersecting child beams and/or to continue to traverse down the BVH hierarchy until a leaf node is reached with which at least one final child beam is determined to intersect; the hierarchical beam-based traversal unit to generate a plurality of rays within the final child beam; and intersection hardware logic to perform intersection testing for any rays intersecting the leaf node, the intersection testing to determine intersections between the rays intersecting the leaf node and primitives bounded by the leaf node.

Abstract: A control surface tracks an individual cacheline in the original surface for frequent data values. If so, control surface bits are set. When reading a cacheline from memory, first the control surface bits are read. If they happen to be set, then the original memory read is skipped altogether and instead the bits from the control surface provide the value for the entire cacheline.
