Description

ABSTRACT:
A graphics generation system includes a column-interleaved distributed frame buffer and data routing apparatus which directs graphics commands to only a selected group of rendering processing elements (RPEs) required to render a given object to be displayed. In one embodiment, the system specifies this selected group of processing elements using a starting and ending RPE number. This starting and ending RPE number is used to selectively enable only those processing elements needed to process the object data and render the object to be displayed.
