Classification: CPC G | IPC G

Claim 0:
1. A method, comprising:
rendering in a first frame period a first image frame generated by an application using a plurality of graphics processing units (GPUs);
generating statistics in the first frame period for the rendering of the first image frame and for geometry testing of a first plurality of pieces of geometry of the first image frame performed during the first frame period;
assigning in a second frame period a second plurality of pieces of geometry of a second image frame generated by the application to the plurality of GPUs for geometry testing of the second plurality of pieces of geometry of the second image frame based on the statistics for the rendering of the first image frame, wherein the second image frame follows the first image frame; and
performing in the second frame period the geometry testing of the second plurality of pieces of geometry at the plurality of GPUs to generate information regarding each of the second plurality of pieces of geometry and its relation to each of a plurality of screen regions, the geometry testing of the second plurality of pieces of geometry performed at each of the plurality of GPUs based on the assigning of the second plurality of pieces of geometry to the plurality of GPUs.
