    摘要: An apparatus with circuit redundancy includes a set of parallel arithmetic logic units (ALUs), a redundant parallel ALU, input data shifting logic that is coupled to the set of parallel ALUs and that is operatively coupled to the redundant parallel ALU. The input data shifting logic shifts input data for a defective ALU, in a first direction, to a neighboring ALU in the set. When the neighboring ALU is the last or end ALU in the set, the shifting logic continues to shift the input data for the end ALU that is not defective, to the redundant parallel ALU. The redundant parallel ALU then operates for the defective ALU. Output data shifting logic is coupled to an output of the parallel redundant ALU and all other ALU outputs to shift the output data in a second and opposite direction than the input shifting logic, to realign output of data for continued processing, including for storage or for further processing by other circuitry.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for dual pass adaptive tessellation includes a vertex grouper tessellator operably coupled to receive primitive information and an index list and a shader processing unit coupled to the vertex grouper tessellator. During a first pass, the shader processing unit receives primitive indices generated from the primitive information and an auto-index value for each of the plurality of primitive indices. The method and apparatus further includes a plurality of vertex shader input staging registers operably coupled to the shader sequence, wherein the plurality of vertex shader input staging registers are coupled to a plurality of vertex shaders such that in response to a shader sequence output, the vertex shaders generate tessellation factors. The tessellation factors are provided to the vertex grouper tessellator such that the vertex grouper tessellator generates a per-process vector output, a per primitive output and a per packet output during a second pass.
