Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
A system, method and a computer program product are provided for distributing prim groups for parallel processing in a single clock cycle. A work distributor divides a draw call for primitive processing into a plurality of prim groups according to a prim group size. The work distributor then distributes the plurality of prim groups to a plurality of shader engines for parallel processing of the plurality of prim groups during a clock cycle. The size of a prim group and a number of prim groups are scaled to the plurality of shader engines.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A system comprising: a plurality of shader engines implemented in computer hardware; and a work distributor configured to: divide a draw call for processing primitive into a plurality of prim groups according to a prim group size; and distribute the plurality of prim groups to the plurality of shader engines for parallel processing of the plurality of prim groups during a clock cycle, wherein the size of a prim group and a number of prim groups are…
