Abstract

A method of performing a blit operation in a parallel processing system includes dividing a blit operation into batches of pixels, performing reads of pixels associated with a first batch in any order, confirming that all reads of pixels associated with the first batch are completed, and performing writes of pixels associated with the first batch in any order. The pixels of the first batch and pixels of additional batches are applied to parallel processors, where the parallel processors include a corral defined by entry points and exit points distributed across the parallel processors.
