Abstract
An apparatus and method are described for conservative rasterization. For example, one embodiment of a graphics processing apparatus comprises: an edge tagging circuit to identify edges of two or more triangles forming a convex polygon as inner edges or non-inner edges; and a rasterizer to responsively perform rasterization of the two or more triangles using a first edge processing circuit for inner edges and a second edge processing circuit for non-inner edges.
