Abstract
Disclosed herein methods, apparatuses, and systems for performing graphics processing. In this regard, a processing unit includes a tessellation module and a connectivity module. The tessellation module is configured to sequentially tessellate portions of a geometric shape to provide a series of tessellation points for the geometric shape. The connectivity module is configured to connect one or more groups of the tessellation points into one or more primitives in an order in which the series of tessellation points is provided.
