Patent ID: 7999813

Claim:
A processing system for performing graphics processing, comprising: a first processor of a first processor type; and a plurality of second processors of a second processor type operatively connected to the first processor, the plurality of second processors each being configured to perform graphics processing, at least a first selected one of the second processors being operable to perform a first graphics process on a first set of graphics data associated with a multi-dimensional object to generate a second set of graphics data, and a second selected one of the second processors being operable to perform a second graphics process on a selected set of graphics data to generate a third set of graphics data; wherein the second set of graphics data comprises a first display list for displaying the multi-dimensional object on a two-dimensional display, the processing system generates a second display list for displaying another multi-dimensional object on a two-dimensional display, and any of the second processors which has not generated the first or second display lists is operable to independently arbitrate among the display lists and to send a selected one of the first and second display lists to another one of the second processors for rendering, and wherein the selected set of graphics data comprises the selected one of the first and second display lists.
