Reassigning geometry based on timing analysis when rendering an image frame

Abstract

A method for graphics processing. The method including rendering graphics for an application using graphics processing units (GPUs). The method including using the plurality of GPUs in collaboration to render an image frame including a plurality of pieces of geometry. The method including during the rendering of the image frame, subdividing one or more of the plurality of pieces of geometry into smaller pieces, and dividing the responsibility for rendering these smaller portions of geometry among the plurality of GPUs, wherein each of the smaller portions of geometry is processed by a corresponding GPU. The method including for those pieces of geometry that are not subdivided, dividing the responsibility for rendering the pieces of geometry among the plurality of GPUs, wherein each of these pieces of geometry is processed by a corresponding GPU.
