HEURISTICS ENABLED TILED RENDERING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17740169 titled 'HEURISTICS ENABLED TILED RENDERING

Simplified Explanation

The patent application describes a graphics pipeline that can determine whether to enable or disable tiled rendering for sets of graphics primitives.

• Tiled rendering is a technique used in computer graphics to improve performance by dividing the screen into smaller tiles and rendering each tile separately.
• The graphics pipeline includes a logic that applies rules or heuristics to a set of graphics primitives associated with a frame.
• Based on these rules or heuristics, the logic decides whether to enable tiled rendering for that set of graphics primitives or disable it.
• The logic continues to make decisions as more graphics primitives are received for the frame, determining whether to render them using tiled rendering or not.

Original Abstract Submitted

In embodiments a graphics pipeline includes a logic that can assess whether to enable or disable tiled rendering for sets of graphics primitives. The logic applies one or more rules or heuristics to a set of graphics primitives associated with a frame, and determines whether to enable tiled rendering for that set of graphics primitives if the one or more rules or heuristics are satisfied. Otherwise, the logic determines to disable tiled rendering for that set of graphics primitives. As further graphics primitives are received for the frame, the logic may make additional decisions as to whether or not to render the further graphics primitives using tiled rendering.
