Abstract:
A graphics processing system processes primitive fragments using a rendering space which is sub-divided into tiles. The graphics processing system comprises processing engines configured to apply texturing and/or shading to primitive fragments. The graphics processing system also comprises a cache system for storing graphics data for primitive fragments, the cache system including multiple cache subsystems. Each of the cache subsystems is coupled to a respective set of one or more processing engines. The graphics processing system also comprises a tile allocation unit which operates in one or more allocation modes to allocate tiles to processing engines. The allocation mode(s) include a spatial allocation mode in which groups of spatially adjacent tiles are allocated to the processing engines according to a spatial allocation scheme, which ensures that each of the groups of spatially adjacent tiles is allocated to a set of processing engines which are coupled to the same cache subsystem.

Claim (Index 18):
A method of processing primitive fragments in a graphics processing system using a rendering space which is sub-divided into a plurality of tiles, the method comprising:\n processing primitive fragments at a plurality of processing engines; allocating, in a plurality of allocation modes, tiles to the processing engines, wherein the plurality of allocation modes includes a spatial allocation mode and a load balancing allocation mode; maintaining, for each of the processing engines, a queue of allocated tiles which are allocated for processing by that processing engine; and monitoring the state of the queues to determine an allocation mode in which tiles are to be allocated to the processing engines.
