Abstract:
Enhanced data buffer control in data systems is presented herein. In one example, a method of handling data buffer resources in a graphics processor includes establishing a pool of available memory pages tracked by memory pointers for use in a growable data structure. Responsive to requests by at least a shader unit of the graphics processor for space in the growable data structure in which to write shader data, the method includes providing to the shader unit at least write pointers to locations within memory pages from the growable data structure in accordance with data sizes indicated in the requests. Responsive to exceeding a threshold fullness of the growable data structure, the method includes allocating at least one further memory page from the pool of available memory pages for inclusion in the growable data structure.

Claim (Index 7):
The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n maintaining a write pointer into the growable data structure that indicates a location within the growable data structure to begin write operations for the shader data; and maintaining a read pointer into the growable data structure that indicates a location within the growable data structure to begin read operations for the shader data.
