Abstract
A raster unit generates graphic data for specific regions of a display device by processing each graphics primitive in a sequence of graphics primitives. A tile coalescer within the raster unit receives graphic data based on the sequence of graphics primitives processed by the raster unit. The tile coalescer collects graphic data for each region of the display device into a different bin before shading and then outputs each bin separately.
