Lecture 6: The Rasterization Pipeline (44)

is there a loop that brings it back to a prior stage if it fails certain benchmarks?

^Curious about that too; would it go back to processing the vertices of the image or a subsequent step of the pipeline for efficiency?

I was still confused about the organization of all of these steps into a pipeline. If the steps are jumping around in different stages, how does the pipeline still work? I thought it has to causally link one after the other.

Is it possible to parallelize this pipeline by running different threads that perform this pipeline for different segments of the screen? What complications would come up from trying to do this?

I'm wondering what would happen if some of these steps got swapped around. For example, how much does applying the texture affect the shading and vise versa? I'm also curious about what the previous comment mentioned. I have a feeling that it would be difficult to parallelize the pipeline since many pixels or groups of pixels depend on one another.
