If each pixel is treated as one vertex, instead of four, then it will be made up of just one x and y location. With a mesh shader, you can for example, generate a triangle directly in the mesh shader by filling vertices and face indices arrays and send it to the rasterizer and then to the pixel shader. By allowing opengl to manage the memory used as the source or destination of pixel transfer operations, opengl is able to avoid explicit synchronization until the user accesses the buffer object.

The problem im facing now, is how to draw a single pixel. Amirite if you pack that data into an array and pass it into the opengl shader pipeline as a vertex buffer object, then you can create a shader to render each vertex as one point. Amd has published a new graphics driver for all radeon based graphics cards. Its easy to enable highresolution backing for an opengl view. Fun with bitmaps and pixel transfer maps in opengl.
