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 15):
The graphics processing pipeline according to  claim 14 , wherein the primitive comprises pairs of parallel edge vectors and the two hardware arrangements arranged to perform edge tests corresponding to each of a pair of parallel edge vectors comprise shared pixel component hardware elements and shared subsample component hardware elements, such that the second outputs and the third outputs are each calculated once for each pixel within a microtile and each subsample within a pixel and used by both hardware arrangements.
