Abstract:
A parallel adaptable graphics rasterization system in which a primitive assembler includes a router to selectively route a primitive to a first rasterizer or one of a plurality of second rasterizers. The second rasterizers concurrently operate on different primitives and the primitive is selectively routed based on an area of the primitive. In some variations, a bounding box of the primitive is reduced to a predetermined number of pixels prior to providing the primitive to the one of the plurality of second rasterizers. Reducing the bounding box can include subtracting an origin of the bounding box from coordinates of points that represent the primitive.
