Abstract: Techniques are described that can delay or even prevent use of memory to store triangles associated with tiles as well as processing resources associated with vertex shading and binning triangles. The techniques can also provide better load balancing among a set of cores, and hence provide better performance. A bounding volume is generated to represent a geometry group. Culling takes place to determine whether a geometry group is to have triangles rendered. Vertex shading and association of triangles with tiles can be performed across multiple cores in parallel. Processing resources are allocated for rasterizing tiles that have been vertex shaded and binned triangles over tiles that have yet to be vertex shaded and binned triangles. Rasterization of triangles of different tiles can be performed by multiple cores in parallel.

Abstract: Approaches for analyzing large data sets using a digital image. A hardware or software component may arrange values of one or more data sets into a table. Each cell of the table may comprise a set of values from the one or more data sets. After mapping each cell of the table to a particular color, a digital image is generated based on the mapping of values in each of the cells of the table to color. The digital image may identify the minimum value and the maximum value of the one or more data sets. An analytical operation on the digital image may be performed by deriving values represented by the colors associated with the pixels of the digital image using the minimum value and the maximum value. The digital image enables data analysis on the data represented by the digital image in an expeditious and intuitive manner.
