Method for processing vertex, triangle, and pixel graphics data packets

A method for processing graphics data packets comprises allocating an entity for the graphics data packet of vertices, triangles, and/or pixels in one or more execution blocks that receives an assignment from a global spreader to process the graphics data packets. A pointer, which points to the allocated entity, communicates a pointer to a data mover, and the data mover loads some graphics data packets into a memory. A number of processing stages may follow such that one or more floating point or integer instructions is executed on the graphics data packets, as controlled by a thread controller. Upon completion of calculations on the graphics data packets, the allocated entity may be deleted and the graphics data packets may be communicated to another execution block or as directed by the global spreader.
