Abstract:
A memory management system for generating 3-dimensional computer images is provided. The memory management system includes a device for subdividing an image into a plurality of rectangular areas, a memory for storing object data pertaining to objects in the image which fall in each rectangular area, a device for storing the object data in the memory, a device for deriving image data and shading data for each rectangular area from the object data, a device for supplying object data for each rectangular area from the respective portion of the memory and, if the rectangular area contains objects also falling in at least one other rectangular area, also from the global list, to the deriving device, and a device for storing the image data and shading data derived by the deriving device for display. The memory includes at least one portion allocated to each rectangular area and at least one portion allocated as a global list.

Claim (Index 12):
An apparatus for rendering in a graphics system having an image plane subdivided into a plurality of tiles, the apparatus comprising:\n at least one processor configured to:\n derive, from object data for a tile, image data and shading data for the tile, the image data comprising depth data, \n compress the depth data, \n store the image data comprising the compressed depth data and the shading data in a memory, \n retrieve the image data comprising the compressed depth data stored in the memory and decompress the compressed depth data, \n derive, from additional object data for the tile and the retrieved data, additional image data and shading data for the tile, and \n provide at least one of the additional shading data and shading data stored in the memory for display.
