Abstract:
A graphics processing hardware pipeline is arranged to perform an edge test or a depth calculation. Each hardware arrangement includes a microtile component hardware element, multiple pixel component hardware elements, one or more subsample component hardware elements and a final addition and comparison unit. The microtile component hardware element calculates a first output using a sum-of-products and coordinates of a microtile within a tile in the rendering space. Each pixel component hardware element calculates a different second output using the sum-of-products and coordinates for different pixels defined relative to an origin of the microtile. The subsample component hardware element calculates a third output using the sum-of-products and coordinates for a subsample position defined relative to an origin of a pixel. The adders sum different combinations of the first output, a second output and a third output to generate output results for different subsample positions defined relative to the origin of the tile.

Claim (Index 16):
The graphics processing pipeline according to  claim 1 , wherein the graphics processing pipeline operates in one of a plurality of operating modes, each operating mode corresponding to a different arrangement of one or more subsample positions within each pixel and wherein the plurality of adders are arranged to generate a plurality of output results for the sum-of-products in parallel by combining, for each output result, a different combination of the first output, one of the plurality of second outputs and a third output calculated using coordinates for a subsample position in the arrangement of subsample positions for a current operating mode.
