Abstract:
In various embodiments, a parallel processor implements a graphics processing pipeline that generates rendered images. In operation, the parallel processor causes execution threads to execute a task shading program on an input mesh to generate a task shader output specifying a mesh shader count. The parallel processor then generates mesh shader identifiers, where the total number of the mesh shader identifiers equals the mesh shader count. For each mesh shader identifier, the parallel processor invokes a mesh shader based on the mesh shader identifier and the task shader output to generate geometry associated with the mesh shader identifier. Subsequently, the parallel processor performs operations on the geometries associated with the mesh shader identifiers to generate a rendered image. Advantageously, unlike conventional graphics processing pipelines, the performance of the graphics processing pipeline is not limited by a primitive distributor.

Claim (Index 18):
The system of  claim 11 , wherein the processor invokes the mesh shader based on the mesh shader identifier and the first task shader output by:\n modifying the first task shader output to generate a mesh shader input specifying the mesh shader identifier; storing the mesh shader input in the on-chip memory; and subsequently causing a second plurality of execution threads to execute a mesh shading program based on the mesh shader input to generate the geometry associated with the mesh shader identifier.
