  • Distributed index fetch, primitive assembly, and primitive batching
    Patent number: 10332310
    Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention includes a technique for distributing work slices associated with a graphics processing unit for processing. A primitive distribution system receives a draw command related to a graphics object associated with a plurality of indices. The primitive distribution system creates a plurality of work slices, where each work slice is associated with a different subset of the indices included in the plurality of indices. The primitive distribution system scans a first subset of indices to identify a first set of characteristics that is needed to process a second subset of indices. The primitive distribution system processes the second subset of indices based at least in part on the one or more characteristics.
