According to at least one particular embodiment, the intra-pixel computational order corresponding to the computer may be based on a random sequence different from and independent of a random sequence on which intra-pixel computational orders corresponding to other computers are based. For example, the intra-pixel computation order corresponding to the computer may be different from and independent of a random sequence on which an intra-pixel computational order corresponding to a second computer is based.

According to at least one particular embodiment, the intra-pixel computational order corresponding to the computer may be based on a common random sequence on which an intra-pixel computational order corresponding to the second computer is also based. For example, the intra-pixel computational order may be based on a common random sequence such as the random sequence 202 of FIG. 2. In this situation, the intra-pixel computational order corresponding to the computer may be formed by non-contiguous entries of the random sequence (e.g., entries 204-0, 204-3, 204-6, 204-9, 204-12, 204-15, etc., of the random sequence 202).

At block 308, rendering results corresponding to the location(s) identified at block 306 are received from the computer. For example, with reference to FIG. 1, the received rendering results may be received by the merger 140.
