Abstract

A method for providing objects to a rendering circuit. The method comprises the steps of: generating an active list, the active including a first subset of the objects; accessing the first subset of objects from the first memory; storing the first subset of objects in a second memory, the second memory having a faster access time than the first memory, and providing the active list to the rendering circuit.
