Zusammenfassung:One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for parallel distribution of primitives to multiple rasterizers. Multiple, independent geometry units perform geometry processing concurrently on different graphics primitives. A primitive distribution scheme delivers primitives from the multiple geometry units concurrently to multiple rasterizers at rates of multiple primitives per clock. The multiple, independent rasterizer units perform rasterization concurrently on one or more graphics primitives, enabling the rendering of multiple primitives per system clock.
