Abstract
Unlike the GPU's FlexRender, a browser engine can intercept rendering at a higher level in the software stack, and because of the simpler nature of the browser tiles that need to be rendered, a browser engine can instruct the GPU to perform composition via traditional tiled-rendering or via direct rendering, where an output of the GPU is written to slower system memory, rather than the faster GPU memory.
