Abstract:
A tiling unit assigning primitives to tiles in a graphics processing system which has a rendering space subdivided into a plurality of tiles. Each tile can comprise one or more polygonal region. Mesh logic of the tiling unit can determine that a plurality of primitives form a mesh and can determine whether the mesh entirely covers a region. If the mesh entirely covers the region then a depth threshold for the region can be updated so that subsequent primitives which lie behind the depth threshold are culled (i.e. not included in the display list for a tile). This helps to reduce the number of primitive IDs included in a display list for a tile which reduces the amount of memory used by the display list and reduces the number of primitives which a hidden surface removal (HSR) module needs to fetch to perform HSR on the tile.

Claim (Index 17):
The tiling unit of  claim 10 , wherein a depth compare mode is: (i) a less than compare mode, or (ii) a less than or equal to compare mode,\n wherein the tiling logic is configured to determine a depth value of a primitive within the region to be a minimum depth value of the primitive within the region, and wherein the depth threshold updating logic is configured to determine a depth value to be a maximum depth value of any of the primitives of the mesh within the region.
