Abstract
A method and apparatus are provided for allocating memory for geometry processing in a 3-D graphics rendering system comprising multiple cores. Geometry processing work is divided up into discrete work-packages, which form an ordered sequence. Cores are assigned different work-packages to process, and make memory allocation requests to enable them to store the results of the processing. Memory allocation requests relating to the current earliest uncompleted work-package in the sequence are treated differently to other requests, and may be prioritised.
