Matrix Token Abstraction: Representing Entire Texture Matrices as Semantic Units in GPU Rendering Pipelines

Key Points

The main aim is to improve GPU rendering by utilizing Matrix Token Abstraction for better texture representation.
Introduced Matrix Token Abstraction representing texture matrices as semantic tokens.
Implemented a token lookup mechanism using a pre-compiled library for GPU rendering.
Developed a hierarchical structure for tokens at pixel, matrix, and scene region levels.
Achieved theoretical token coverage ratios between 85-95% for consistent game environment rendering.
Eliminated the need for per-element shader evaluations, enhancing rendering efficiency.

Abstract

This paper proposes Matrix Token Abstraction (MTA), in which entire texture matrices are represented as single semantic tokens rather than collections of pixel values. The GPU resolves rendering through token lookups against a pre-compiled library, eliminating per-element shader evaluation. MTA extends the Adaptive Semantic Rendering framework (Prudente, 2026) and introduces a three-level token hierarchy spanning pixel, matrix, and scene region levels. A theoretical analysis suggests token coverage ratios of 85-95% are achievable for content-consistent game environments.
