Abstract:
In various embodiments, a parallel processor implements a graphics processing pipeline that generates rendered images via a shading program. In operation, the parallel processor causes a first set of execution threads to execute the shading program on a first portion of the input mesh to generate first geometry stored in an on-chip memory. The parallel processor also causes a second set of execution threads to execute the mesh shading program on a second portion of the input mesh to generate second geometry stored in the on-chip memory. Subsequently, the parallel processor reads the first geometry and the second geometry from the on-chip memory, and performs operations on the first geometry and the second geometry to generate a rendered image derived from the input mesh. Advantageously, unlike conventional graphics processing pipelines, the performance of the graphics processing pipeline is not limited by a primitive distributor.

Claim (Index 23):
The method of  claim 20 , wherein, when executing the shading program, the first group of execution threads execute an instruction that performs one or more operations cooperatively across the first group of execution threads without accessing shared memory.
