Abstract
A tile based graphics processing pipeline comprises a plurality of processing stages, including at least a rasterizer that rasterizes input primitives to generate graphics fragments to be processed, and a renderer that processes fragments generated by the rasterizer to generate rendered fragment data, and a processing stageoperable to receive rendered fragment data, and to perform a processing operation using the rendered fragment data to generate per-tile metadata
