Method and system for processing graphics data streams utilizing scalable processing nodes

摘要

The data processing system includes processing nodes and a graphics display device for processing a graphics data stream. The data processing system partitions a graphics data stream into a data segments or work groups for processing by the processing nodes. Next, the data segments are distributed for processing to the processing nodes. In response to receiving a data segment at a processing node, the data segment is processed to produce a processed data segment. The processed data segments are recombined into a processed graphics data stream. This processed graphics data stream is coupled to the graphics display device.
