Abstract:
In various embodiments, a deduplication application pre-processes index buffers for a graphics processing pipeline that generates rendered images via a shading program. In operation, the deduplication application causes execution threads to identify a set of unique vertices specified in an index buffer based on an instruction. The deduplication application then generates a vertex buffer and an indirect index buffer based on the set of unique vertices. The vertex buffer and the indirect index buffer are associated with a portion of an input mesh. The graphics processing pipeline then renders a first frame and a second frame based on the vertex buffer, the indirect index buffer, and the shading program. Advantageously, the graphics processing pipeline may re-use the vertex buffer and indirect index buffer until the topology of the input mesh changes.

Claim (Index 6):
The method of  claim 5 , wherein generating the first indirect index buffer comprises mapping a first execution thread included in the first plurality of execution threads to a first vertex included in the first plurality of unique vertices based on a first match mask included in the plurality of match masks.
