....that it does not preserve primitive ordering semantics, which makes antialiasing and transparency difficult to support. Also, sort last systems usually require a network with high bandwidth for image composition. Although it is possible to build special purpose networking hardware for compositing [16, 27, 30], this approach requires custom designed components, which are expensive. Also, latency is induced if compositing is done in multiple stages [16] There has been considerable work over the last decade on reducing the overheads of image composition in sort last systems. For instance, Ma et al. ....

....by each graphics primitive) as more rasterization tiles are added to support higher resolutions. Recently, sort last systems have been built that render multiple images, each containing a portion of the graphics primitives, and then composite these images with depth into a single image for display [21, 11, 31, 36]. This approach avoids global connectivity of geometry and rasterization processors. However, it provides no strict primitive ordering semantics, and it incurs latency as subimages must be composited before display. Moreover, it requires an image composition network with very high bandwidth and ....
