<p>An integrated graphics pipeline system is provided for graphics processing. Such system includes a tessellation module (51) that is positioned on a single semiconductor platform for receiving data for tessellation purposes. Tessellation refers to the process of decomposing either a complex surface such as a sphere or surface patch into simpler primitives such as triangles or quadrilaterals, or a triangle into multiple smaller triangles. Also included on the single semiconductor platform is a transform module (52) adapted to transform the tessellated data (50) from a first space to a second space. Coupled to the transform module (52) is a lighting module (54) which is positioned on the single semiconductor platform for performing lighting operations on the data received from the transform module (52). Also included is a rasterizer (56) coupled to the lighting module (54) and positioned on the single semiconductor platform for rendering the data received from the lighting module (54).</p> |
