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 9):
The method of  claim 1 , further comprising:\n determining that a topology associated with the input mesh has changed between the second frame and a third frame; generating a second vertex buffer and a second indirect index buffer based on the first instruction and a second index buffer associated with the input mesh, wherein the graphics processing pipeline renders the third frame based on the second vertex buffer, the second indirect index array, and the shading program.
