System und Verfahren zur Optimierung von Graphikverarbeitung durch Polygonteilung

摘要

A system comprises geometry processors (502, 504, 506) and graphics processors (508, 510, 512). A communication channel (514) permits communication between the geometry and graphics processors. A control processor (524) may communicate with the geometry and graphics processors through the communications channel. A method of processing graphics data in a computer system is provided to determine whether the geometry and graphics processors are being efficiently utilized. If necessary, one or more of the geometry and graphics processors are selectively assigned or unassigned to improve the efficiency of the graphics processing circuitry in performing the graphics task.
