ABSTRACT:
A dynamically scheduled parallel graphics processor comprises a spreader that creates graphic objects for processing and assigns and distributes the created objects for processing to one or more execution blocks. Each execution block is coupled to the spreader and receives an assignment for processing a graphics object. The execution block pushes the object through each processing stage by scheduling the processing of the graphics object and executing instruction operations on the graphics object. The dynamically scheduled parallel graphics processor includes one or more fixed function units coupled to the spreader that are configured to execute one or more predetermined operations on a graphics object. An input/output unit is coupled to the spreader, the one or more fixed function units, and the plurality of execution blocks and is configured to provide access to memory external to the dynamically scheduled parallel graphics processor.
