Method and apparatus for managing multiprocessor graphical workload distribution

摘要

An apparatus for utilizing multiple processors to render graphical objects for display including apparatus for storing in memory a list of pixel locations assigned to each of the processors, apparatus for scan converting each received graphical object into pixels, and each processor including apparatus for rendering graphical object pixels at pixel locations assigned to the processor. In addition, a method of utilizing multiple processors to render graphical objects for display including the steps of storing in memory a list of pixel locations assigned to each of the processors, scan converting each received graphical object into pixels, and each processor rendering graphical object pixels at pixel locations assigned to the processor. <MATH>
