Parallelized pipeline for vector graphics and image processing
Abstract:
This technology relates to rasterizing and compositing vector graphics in parallel on a data-parallel computing device. For example, vector data of the vector graphics, may be loaded into local memory accessible by the one or more parallel processors. The vector data may include one or more paths comprised of one or more path segments of the vector graphics. The one or more parallel processors may rasterize the one or more path segments into respective rasters and assign each of the rasters into groups based on pixel coordinates of the respective rasters. Each group may have an associated key and the rasters within each group represent a portion of the same vector graphic. The rasters may be placed onto subpixels according to their respective pixel coordinates and rendered onto a display by the one or more parallel processors.
