Abstract
A graphics processing pipeline includes a vertex transformation stagehaving a vertex transformation cache. If a request to transform vertex data is received and the vertex transformation cacheindicates that the transformed vertex data for that received request has already been generated, then a pointer to that previously generated transformed vertex data is output within a result data stream in place of the transform vertex data. The transform vertex data is stored to a memorybefore being retrieved as required by a rasterization stage
