Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
Debugging a graphics application executing on a target device. The graphics application may execute CPU instructions to generate graphics commands to graphics hardware for generation of graphics on a display. A breakpoint for the graphics application may be detected at a first time. In response to detecting the breakpoint, one or more graphics commands which were executed by the graphics hardware proximate to the first time may be displayed. Additionally, source code corresponding to CPU instructions which generated the one or more graphics commands may be displayed.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
We claim: 1. A method for debugging a graphics application executing on a target device, the method comprising: initiating execution of the graphics application on the target device, wherein the graphics application comprises processor instructions which are executable to generate graphics commands to a graphics processing unit (GPU) for generation of graphics on a display of the target device; detecting a breakpoint for the graphics application at a first time, wherein said det…
