Abstract:
3-D rendering systems include a rasterization section that can fetch untransformed geometry, transform geometry and cache data for transformed geometry in a memory. As an example, the rasterization section can transform the geometry into screen space. The geometry can include one or more of static geometry and dynamic geometry. The rasterization section can query the cache for presence of data pertaining to a specific element or elements of geometry, and use that data from the cache, if present, and otherwise perform the transformation again, for actions such as hidden surface removal. The rasterization section can receive, from a geometry processing section, tiled geometry lists and perform the hidden surface removal for pixels within respective tiles to which those lists pertain.

Claim (Index 1):
A tile-based rendering system configured to operate in a geometry processing phase and a rasterisation phase, wherein the system comprises:\n a fetch unit configured to, in the geometry processing phase, retrieve position data of geometry; a transform unit configured to, in the geometry processing phase, transform retrieved position data to screen space; a tiling unit configured to, in the geometry processing phase, use the screen space position data to generate, for each of a plurality of tiles of the tile-based rendering system, references to geometry which when transformed is at least partially in the respective tile; fetch logic configured to, in the rasterisation phase: (i) retrieve, for each of the tiles, said respective generated references to geometry, and (ii) retrieve data of geometry in accordance with the retrieved references to geometry, wherein the tile-based rendering system is configured to, in the rasterisation phase, transform the retrieved data of geometry to screen space; and one or more processing units configured to render the geometry in the rasterisation phase.
