US Patent 12131418 Graphics processing unit instancing control

Graphics processing unit instancing control techniques are described that overcome conventional challenges to expand functionality made available via a graphics processing unit. In one example, these techniques support ordering of primitives within respective instances of a single draw call made to a graphics processing unit. This is performed by ordering primitives within respective instances that correspond to polygons for rendering. The ordering of the primitives overcomes limitations of conventional techniques and reduces visual artifacts through support of correct overlaps and z-ordering of instances.
