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 6):
The graphics processing pipeline according to  claim 4 , wherein the one or more of the hardware arrangements further comprises a second plurality of multiplexers, each of the multiplexers in the second plurality of multiplexers having a plurality of inputs and an output, wherein each input is arranged to receive a different one of the plurality of third outputs from the plurality of subsample component hardware elements and the multiplexer is arranged to select one of the received third outputs and output the selected third output to one of the plurality of addition and comparison elements via the output.
