Abstract
Methods and systems for optimizing graphics data processing employ various binning flush algorithms to optimize the utilization of binning memory in a graphics system. Binning flush algorithms provide for processing all geometry and commands binned up to the point the binning memory becomes unavailable, and storing and restoring all necessary intermediate data generated during the partial tile rendering.
