Claim One:
1. A computer-implemented rasterization method comprising: defining a plurality of projected triangles in a two-dimensional image space, the two-dimensional image space corresponding to a pixel array; dividing the two-dimensional image space into a plurality of tiles, wherein the projected triangles overlap at least a portion of the tiles; processing a first selected tile so as to generate a first list of pixels contained within a first projected triangle overlapping the first selected tile, wherein such processing comprises subdividing the first selected tile into a first plurality of sub-tiles which are classified with respect to at least one edge of the first projected triangle; and processing a second selected tile so as to generate a second list of pixels contained within a second projected triangle overlapping the second selected tile, wherein such processing comprises subdividing the second selected tile into a second plurality of sub-tiles which are classified with respect to at least one edge of the second projected triangle; wherein the processing of the first and second selected tiles is performed at least partially simultaneously using respective first and second processor cores of a processor array comprising a plurality of processor cores.
