    摘要： A fragment processor includes a fragment shader distributor, a fragment shader collector, and a plurality of fragment shader pipelines. Each fragment shader pipeline executes a fragment shader program on a segment of fragments. The plurality of fragment shader pipelines operate in parallel, executing the same or different fragment shader programs. The fragment shader distributor receives a stream of fragments from a rasterization unit and dispatches a portion of the stream of fragments to a selected fragment shader pipeline until the capacity of the selected fragment shader pipeline is reached. The fragment shader distributor then selects another fragment shader pipeline. The capacity of each of the fragment shader pipelines is limited by several different resources. As the fragment shader distributor dispatches fragments, it tracks the remaining available resources of the selected fragment shader pipeline. A fragment shader collector retrieves processed fragments from the plurality of fragment shader pipelines.

    摘要： A virtual memory system that maintains a list of pages that are required to be resident in a frame buffer to guarantee the eventual forward progress of a graphics application context running on a graphics system composed of multiple clients. Pages that are required to be in the frame buffer memory are never swapped out of that memory. The required page list can be dynamically sized or fixed sized. A tag file is used to prevent page swapping of a page from the frame buffer that is required to make forward progress. A forward progress indicator signifies that a page faulting client has made forward progress on behalf of a context. The presence of a forward progress indicator is used to clear the tag file, thus enabling page swapping of the previously tagged pages from the frame buffer memory.

    摘要： A computer graphics system splits vertex data into first and second streams and stores the streams in separate regions of memory. In a specific embodiment, the first stream includes positional data and the second stream includes non-positional color and texture data. A visibility subsystem uses only the first stream to perform visibility processing, thus reducing bandwidth requirement. The rendering system processes data from subsets, identified by the visibility subsystem, of both streams required to render the visible part of a scene.

    摘要： A scalable shader architecture is disclosed. In accord with that architecture, a shader includes multiple shader pipelines, each of which can perform processing operations on rasterized pixel data. Shader pipelines can be functionally removed as required, thus preventing a defective shader pipeline from causing a chip rejection. The shader includes a shader distributor that processes rasterized pixel data and then selectively distributes the processed rasterized pixel data to the various shader pipelines, beneficially in a manner that balances workloads. A shader collector formats the outputs of the various shader pipelines into proper order to form shaded pixel data. A shader instruction processor (scheduler) programs the individual shader pipelines to perform their intended tasks. Each shader pipeline has a shader gatekeeper that interacts with the shader distributor and with the shader instruction processor such that pixel data that passes through the shader pipelines is controlled and processed as required.

    摘要： A pixel center position that is not covered by a primitive covering a portion of the pixel is displaced to lie within a fragment formed by the intersection of the primitive and the pixel. X,y coordinates of a pixel center are adjusted to displace the pixel center position to lie within the fragment, affecting actual texture map coordinates or barycentric weights. Alternatively, a centroid sub-pixel sample position is determined based on coverage data for the pixel and a multisample mode. The centroid sub-pixel sample position is used to compute pixel or sub-pixel parameters for the fragment.
