Patent number: 12243119Abstract: A graphics processor including geometry and fragment processing logic, and a memory manager arranged to allocate and deallocate memory for use to hold tile data. The memory manager tracks which memory regions are allocated to hold tile data of which subdivisions (e.g. macrotiles) of the render area.
