The node partitioning stage of a graphics pipeline to transform and display octree encoded objects is described. Its function is to accept a sequence of octree node codes, from which the hidden nodes have been removed, and to partition it into sets of nodes which are suitable for a multiprocessor rendering stage. Each set is capable of being processed and displayed independently.
