Abstract:
In various embodiments, a parallel processor implements a graphics processing pipeline that generates rendered images. In operation, the parallel processor causes execution threads to execute a task shading program on an input mesh to generate a task shader output specifying a mesh shader count. The parallel processor then generates mesh shader identifiers, where the total number of the mesh shader identifiers equals the mesh shader count. For each mesh shader identifier, the parallel processor invokes a mesh shader based on the mesh shader identifier and the task shader output to generate geometry associated with the mesh shader identifier. Subsequently, the parallel processor performs operations on the geometries associated with the mesh shader identifiers to generate a rendered image. Advantageously, unlike conventional graphics processing pipelines, the performance of the graphics processing pipeline is not limited by a primitive distributor.

Claim (Index 8):
The computer-implemented method of  claim 1 , wherein, when executing the task shading program, the first plurality of execution threads performs one or more transformation operations on a first plurality of vertices included in the input mesh, and the number of execution threads included in the first plurality of execution threads is not equal to the number of vertices included in the first plurality of vertices.
