  • Patent number: 6222550
    Abstract: A 3D graphics processor has parallel triangle pixel pipelines. One or more triangle setup engine(s) receives triangle primitives from a host or geometry engine and generates vertex color, texture and other attributes as well as their gradients. The triangle setup engine makes available all required triangle data to the triangle pixel pipelines. The triangle pixel pipelines accept the next triangle data on a demand basis, when finished with the previous triangle. Each triangle pixel pipeline has a span engine that generates endpoints along the 3 edges of the triangle where the horizontal lines (spans) intersect. Each triangle pixel pipeline also has a raster engine that receives the endpoints as well as gradients and generates color, texture and other attributes for each pixel along a span between endpoints. The raster engine then composites pixels from these attributes and updates visible pixels in the frame buffer.
