Abstract
An apparatus and method for adaptive pixel hashing. For example, one embodiment of a method comprises: determining X and Y coordinates for a pixel block to be processed; performing a first lookup in a first data structure to identify a second data structure; performing a second lookup in the second data structure using the X and Y coordinates for the pixel block to identify a third data structure; performing a third lookup in a third data structure indexed based on the X and Y coordinates of the pixel block, the third lookup identifying an entry in the third data structure corresponding to the X and Y coordinates of the pixel block; reading information from the entry identifying an execution cluster to process the pixel block; and processing the pixel block by the execution cluster.
