Abstract

See full text

Disclosed herein are systems and methods for detecting when geometry shaders output a constant amount of data and writing the data into an output stream buffer. In one aspect, an exemplary method comprises gathering information about a number of block executions associated with the received data, analyzing the gathered information to determine whether constant or variable amount of data is generated for at least one of: a stream output or a rasterization, and when the constant amount of data is generated for the stream output, writing the generated data directly into a stream output buffer, and when the constant amount of data is generated for the rasterization, writing the generated data into a rasterization buffer either directly or through a use of an intermediate index buffer.
