Abstract:
This disclosure describes a method and apparatus for performing tessellation in a graphics process. A graphics processing unit may be configured to determine tessellation factors for a first patch of the graphics data, determine, based on the tessellation factors, that a first edge of an outermost ring of the first patch will produce only degenerated sub-primitives, and skip performing tessellation for the first edge. A graphics processing unit may determine that a second edge of the outermost ring of the first patch will produce at least some normal sub-primitives, and perform tessellation for the second edge to produce output primitives.

Claim (Index 16):
The apparatus of  claim 15 , wherein the one or more processors are further configured to:\n check each of the output primitives for the second edge to determine if any of the output primitives are degenerated sub-primitives; and discard, based on the checking, the degenerated sub-primitives.
