Abstract
A system and method for parallel computation and assembly of primitives comprises identifying cut indices within an index buffer, identifying positions of cut indices, determining validity of primitives, and invoking a geometry shader of a graphics pipeline. The validity of two or more primitives is determined in parallel and geometry shader is invoked with the index buffer, the cut indices, and the valid primitives.
