APPARATUS AND METHOD FOR VERIFYING FRAGMENT PROCESSING RELATED DATA IN GRAPHICS PIPELINE PROCESSING

摘要

The present application relates to an apparatus for verifying fragment processing related data and a method of operating thereof. The fragment shader unit is coupled to the at least one data buffer. A fragment shader unit of a graphics processing pipeline receives fragment data and records fragment processing related data in the at least one data buffer on processing one or more fragments in accordance with the received fragment data. A comparator unit coupled to the at least one data buffer compares the recorded fragment processing related data in the at least one data buffer to reference data and issues a fault indication signal in case the recorded fragment processing related data and the reference data mismatch.

1. An apparatus for verifying fragment processing related data, said apparatus comprising:
at least one data buffer provided to record fragment processing related data; a graphics processing pipeline comprising a fragment shader unit,
wherein the fragment shader unit is coupled to the at least one data buffer,wherein the fragment shader unit is arranged to receive fragment data and configured record fragment processing related data in the at least one data buffer on processing one or more fragments in accordance with the received fragment data; and a comparator unit coupled to the at least one data buffer,
wherein the comparator unit is configured
to compare the recorded fragment processing related data in the at least one data buffer to reference data andto issue a fault indication signal in case the recorded fragment processing related data and the reference data mismatch.
