ABSTRACT:
Apparatuses and methods are presented for a hierarchical processor. The processor comprises, at a first level of hierarchy, a plurality of similarly structured first level components, wherein each of the plurality of similarly structured first level components includes at least one combined function module capable of performing multiple classes of graphics operations, each of the multiple classes of graphics operations being associated with a different stage of graphics processing. The processor comprises, at a second level of hierarchy, a plurality of similarly structured second level components positioned within each one of the plurality of similarly structured first level components, wherein each of the plurality of similarly structured second level components is capable of carrying out different operations from the multiple classes of graphics operations, wherein each first level component is adapted to distribute work to the plurality of similarly structured second level components positioned within the first level component.
