Abstract: A method for avoiding lockup in a graphics pipeline may include accumulating position information in an accumulating stage of the pipeline, passing position information from a first preceding stage of the pipeline to the accumulating stage, determining a condition in the first preceding stage, and draining accumulated position information from the accumulating stage in response to the condition in the first preceding stage. The method may further include passing position information from the first preceding stage to a second preceding stage of the pipeline, passing position information from the second preceding stage to the accumulating stage, determining a condition in the second preceding stage, and draining accumulated position information from the accumulating stage in response to the condition in the first preceding stage and the condition in the second preceding stage.
