Abstract
A graphics processing system includes a tiling unit configured to tile a scene into a plurality of tiles. A processing unit identifies tiles of the plurality of tiles that are each associated with at least a predetermined number of primitives. A memory management unit allocates a portion of memory to each of the identified tiles and does not allocate a portion of memory for each of the plurality of tiles that are not identified by the processing unit. A rendering unit renders each of the identified tiles and does not render tiles that are not identified by the processing unit.
