	Pipeline (computer) - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
		The elements of a pipeline are often executed in parallel or in time-sliced fashion; in that case, some amount of buffer storage is often inserted between elements.
		Instruction pipelines, such as the classic RISC pipeline, which are used in processors to allow the parallel execution of two or more consecutive instructions from a nominally sequential stream; the processing elements are the logical circuits that implement the various stages of an instruction (address decoding and arithmetic, register fetching, cache lookup, etc.).
		Software pipelines, consisting of multiple processes arranged so that the output stream of one process is automatically and promptly fed as the input stream of the next one.

		The 4 pixel pipelines on GF4 don’t really care about the ‘VS’ units themselves, all they care about is the triangle data that’s in the buffer.
		The Pixel pipelines work on a per triangle basis; they render all the pixels on a triangle before requesting the next triangle to render — the pixel pipes have no concern over where those triangles came from.
		If this pipeline is able to perform a certain set of operations as defined in the DX specs, it can be called "Pixel Shader pipeline".

	Xbox 360 & Xbox Forums - View Single Post - Is it true ps3 can do 100 bill. shader OPS/sec while 360 can do 48?
		That means that all 24 pixel pipelines would pump out around 48 shader operations per cycle and so would XENOS if all pipelines was used for pixel shader programs.
		Now I said that XENOS has 48 pipelines that could be used as either pixel or vertex data...
		and you don't want to use all of your pipelines for pixel data as that would mean you wouldn't have any pipelines for geometry...

	DriverHeaven.net - NVIDIA: No News on GeForce 6800 Vertex Pipelines (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-11-03)
		Graphics processor designer NVIDIA Corp. said Monday it was nothing new in the recently released facts about lower amount of geometry pipelines within the GeForce 6800 chips.
		The company said that the GeForce 6800 were originally said to have 5 vertex pipeline instead of 6 on higher-end GeForce 6800 models.
		When NVIDIA initially unveiled its GeForce 6800-series lineup it was believed that the GeForce 6800 Ultra and GeForce 6800 graphics processors featured equal number of geometry processors amid different amount of pixel processors and clock-speed.

	The Solaris XGL Graphics Library - Introduction
		The rendering pipelines turn a geometric data description of an object and its state attributes into pixel data that is displayed on a graphics hardware device or written into memory.
		Functions in this layer implement the geometry pipeline for each drawing primitive; they take the points defining the primitive and transform, light (in the 3-D case), and clip the geometry in preparation for the rendering operations in the next layer.
		The default pipeline is the software pipeline which XGL provides for devices that have only minimal acceleration capabilities.

		The P10 VPU combines over 200 SIMD processors throughout its geometry, texture and pixel processing pipeline stages to deliver over 170Gflops and one TeraOp of programmable graphics performance together with a full 256-bit DDR memory interface for up to 20GBytes/sec of memory bandwidth.
		In terms of raw performance, the P10's 16 scalar FP units compare favorably to the GeForce 4's two vector-based vertex shader pipelines on paper, and it seems the P10's vertex processor is quite programmable as well.
		Feeding those pipelines is a 256-bit DDR SDRAM memory interface capable of delivering up to 20 GB/s (19.2 GB/s, assuming 300 MHz DDR SDRAM).

		At this point there are no confirmed reports of anyone being able to enable the disabled pipelines, reports Xbit Labs.
		In the past two years ATI Technology unveiled two graphics processors that allowed re-enabling of 4 pixel pipelines and ending up with a much powerful VPU with 8 rendering pipelines.

		The CPU does all the geometry, and when sending triangle endpoint screen coordinates to the GFX card, just send it in parallel to two (or four, if you're the semi-mythical Voodoo 5-6000) instead.
		That means that the screen coordinates of those triangles isn't known until after the GPU's geometry pipeline has done it's work, and that means the CPU doesn't necessarily know which GPU will be drawing which objects.
		But, if you want to scale the geometry workload up too, you have to figure out how to get one GPU to calculate things the other GPU doesn't.
