1. A method comprising:
in response to receiving a request to render a scene, generating, at an accelerated processing unit, a bounding volume based on the scene;
performing, by a compute unit of the accelerated processing unit, a spatial test on the bounding volume based on a set of planes;
storing one or more flags based on the spatial test, wherein each flag of the one or more flags indicates whether the bounding volume intersects a corresponding plane of the set of planes; and
rendering, by the accelerated processing unit, the scene based on the one or more of flags.
