Patent abstract

A graphics processing apparatus coalesces groups of primitives for concurrent processing in a pixel shader. In one implementation, the shader concurrently processes coalesced groups for multisampling. In another implementation, the shader concurrently processes coalesced groups to calculate derivative information.
