Abstract
Multiprocessor graphics systems support distributed antialiasing. In one embodiment, two (or more) graphics processors each render a version of the same image, with a difference in the sampling location (or locations) used for each pixel. A display head combines corresponding pixels generated by different graphics processors to produce an antialiased image. This distributed antialiasing technique can be scaled to any number of graphics processors.
