ABSTRACT:
At least two different processing sections in a graphics processors compute Z coordinates for a sample location from a compressed Z representation. The processors are designed to ensure that Z coordinates computed in any unit in the processor are identical. In one embodiment, the respective arithmetic circuits included in each processing section that computes Z coordinates are “bit-identical,” meaning that, for any input planar Z representation and coordinates, the output Z coordinates produced by the circuits are identical to each other.
