ABSTRACT:
A method for multiple queue output buffering in a raster stage of a graphics processor. The method includes receiving a graphics primitive for rasterization in a raster stage of a graphics processor. The graphics primitive is rasterized at a first level to generate a plurality of tiles of pixels related to the graphics primitive. Each tile is then rasterized to determine related sub-portions of each tile. The related sub-portions are transferred to a plurality of output queues. The related sub-portions are subsequently output on a per queue basis and on a per clock cycle basis.
