Abstract:
In a raster stage of a graphics processor, a method for parallel fine rasterization. The method includes receiving a graphics primitive for rasterization in a raster stage of a graphics processor. The graphics primitive is rasterized at a first level to generate a plurality of tiles of pixels. The titles are subsequently rasterized at a second level by allocating the tiles to an array of parallel second-level rasterization units to generate covered pixels. The covered pixels are then output for rendering operations in a subsequent stage of the graphics processor.
