Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatus for sharing GPU hardware to generate bin visibility information concurrently for graphics processing. The apparatus can cause a processor to: store, in a GMEM, first data associated with a first graphics processing pass for a first frame of graphics data and second data associated with a second graphics processing pass for a second frame of graphics data. The apparatus can also cause a geometry processor to perform the first graphics processing pass using the first data and a second processor to concurrently perform the second graphics processing pass using the second data such that the first graphics processing pass and the second graphics processing path share the geometry processor. In some aspects, the apparatus can switch the geometry processor from being used for the first graphics processing pass to being used for the second graphics processing pass at a primitive batch boundary.
