Abstract
News editors obtained the following quote from the background information suppli ed by the inventors:“BACKGROUND OF THE DESCRIPTION“Current parallel graphics data processing includes systems and methods develope d to perform specificoperations on graphics data such as, for example, linear i nterpolation, tessellation, rasterization, texture mapping, depth testing, etc. Traditionally, graphics processors used fixed function computational unitsto pr ocess graphics data; however, more recently, portions of graphics processors hav e been made programmable,enabling such processors to support a wider variety of operations for processing vertex andfragment data.
