Abstract

See full text

A graphics processing pipeline within a parallel processing unit (PPU) is configured to perform path rendering by generating a collection of graphics primitives that represent each path to be rendered. The graphics processing pipeline determines the coverage of each primitive at a number of stencil sample locations within each different pixel. Then, the graphics processing pipeline reduces the number of stencil samples down to a smaller number of color samples, for each pixel. The graphics processing pipeline is configured to modulate a given color sample associated with a given pixel based on the color values of any graphics primitives that cover the stencil samples from which the color sample was reduced. The final color of the pixel is determined by downsampling the color samples associated with the pixel.
