A system, method and a computer program product are provided for distributing prim groups for parallel processing in a single clock cycle. A work distributor divides a draw call for primitive processing into a plurality of prim groups according to a prim group size. The work distributor then distributes the plurality of prim groups to a plurality of shader engines for parallel processing of the plurality of prim groups during a clock cycle. The size of a prim group and a number of prim groups are scaled to the plurality of shader engines.
