Abstract As the nonstop advancement of graphics hardware continues, new features are
being added to the graphics pipeline on a regular basis. One of these advancements
is called Pixel Synchronization, which allows a graphics programmer more power
with certain types of data structures that may be accessed by multiple shader units
without race conditions. This project discusses the details of Pixel Synchronization,
demonstrates a use of Pixel Synchronization with an existing render technique and
measures its performance results and, based on the findings, discusses whether this
hardware capability has a future in the realtime graphics world.
