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 22):
The method of  claim 20 , wherein, when executing the shading program, a first execution thread included in the first group of execution threads writes a first value to a first shared buffer that is included in the on-chip memory, and a second execution thread included in the first group of execution threads reads the first value from the first shared buffer.
