Abstract
A graphics processor having a command processor and a geometry engine and connected to a memory and another graphics processor includes a bus fabric that delivers and receives data to and from the memory connected thereto, and a first interconnect that is connected to the command processor and the geometry engine and that delivers and receives data to and from a command processor and a geometry engine of the other graphics processor. Via a second interconnect, the bus fabric delivers and receives data to and from a bus fabric of the other graphics processor, and is accessibly connected to a memory connected to the other graphics processor.
Claims8
A graphics processor having a command processor and a geometry engine and connected to a memory and another graphics processor, the graphics processor comprising:
- a bus fabric that delivers and receives data to and from the memory connected thereto;
- and
- a first interconnect that is connected to the command processor and the geometry engine and that delivers and receives data to and from a command processor and a geometry engine of another graphics processor, wherein,
- via a second interconnect, the bus fabric delivers and receives data to and from a bus fabric of the other graphics processor and is accessibly connected to a memory connected to the other graphics processor.
An information processing system comprising:
- a plurality of graphics processors each having a command processor and a geometry engine and connected to a memory, each of the graphics processors including
- a bus fabric that delivers and receives data to and from the memory connected thereto, and
- a first interconnect that is connected to the command processor and the geometry engine and that delivers and receives data to and from the command processor and the geometry engine of another graphics processor, wherein,
- via a second interconnect, the bus fabric delivers and receives data to and from the bus fabric of the other graphics processor and is accessibly connected to a memory connected to the other graphics processor.
