Progressive multisample anti-aliasing
One embodiment provides for a general-purpose graphics processor comprising a hardware graphics rendering pipeline configured to perform multisample anti-aliasing, the hardware graphics rendering pipeline including a pixel processing unit configured to generate pixel color data in a graphics processing pipeline, the pixel processing unit to output color data to a multisample render target, the multisample render target to store multiple sample locations for each pixel in a set of pixels. The general-purpose graphics processor further comprises a memory allocator to allocate memory to store color data associated with the multisample render target, the memory allocator to merge a memory allocation for multiple pixels having a sample associated with a same color value.
