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 18):
The data buffer management service of  claim 10 , further comprising:\n a buffer summarizer element configured to:\n monitor status of shader data written into the buffer data structures; \n based at least on a fullness status of each of the growable data structures, prioritize which of the buffer data structures should be read; and \n indicate at least to a launcher associated with the shader unit one or more prioritized portions of the shader data to responsively prompt corresponding read operations to be issued by one or more of the shader units for the one or more prioritized portions.
