 TiledBackingStore relies on an abstract WebCore::Tile implementation, allowing for different decisions around drawing the tiles synchronously or asynchronously.
 
-'''[/browser/trunk/Source/WebKit2/WebProcess/WebPage/CoordinatedGraphics/CoordinatedTile.cpp CoordinatedTile]''' is a web-process backend for WebCore::Tile, allowing software rendering of tiles into the coordinated graphics system. It's the tile-equivalent of CoordinatedGraphicsLayer, maintaining a tile-ID map. It uses a special client (a superclass of LayerTreeCoordinator) to allocate content surfaces and send the messages to the UI process.

 '''[/browser/trunk/Source/WebKit2/Shared/ShareableBitmap.cpp ShareableBitmap]''' is used by Apple and other ports, but in this context it is used as a software backing-store for content updates. When there is no platform-specific GraphicsSurface implementation, ShareableBitmap acts as a fallback that uses standard shared memory as a backing store for the update, and then updates the TextureMapper GPU backing-stores (BitmapTextures) with the contents from that shared memory.

 '''[/browser/trunk/Source/WebKit2/Shared/ShareableSurface.cpp ShareableSurface]''' is a glue class that abstracts away the differences between GraphicsSurface and ShareableBitmap for the purposes of serialization. This is a convenience, to allow us to avoid adding #ifdefs or special code-paths for GraphicsSurface in too many places in WebKit2.
 
-'''[/browser/trunk/Source/WebKit2/UIProcess/CoordinatedGraphics/CoordinatedBackingStore.cpp CoordinatedBackingStore]''' synchronizes remote tiles and ShareableSurfaces with TextureMapper in the UI process. It is responsible for copying or swapping the data in the BitmapTexture with new data or updates from ShareableSurface. It also knows how to paint the different tiles with relation to the parameters received from TextureMapperLayer.

 '''[/browser/trunk/Source/WebKit2/WebProcess/WebPage/UpdateAtlas.cpp UpdateAtlas]''' is a graphics-memory optimization, designed to avoid fragmented allocations of small update buffers. Instead of allocating small buffers as it goes along, UpdateAtlas allocates large graphics buffers, and manages the update-patch allocations by itself, using square shapes inside the large buffers as sub-images to store temporary pixel data.
