GRAPHICS PROCESSING SYSTEMS

摘要

A tile based graphics processing pipeline comprises a plurality of processing stages, including at least a rasteriser that rasterises input primitives to generate graphics fragments to be processed, and a renderer that processes fragments generated by the rasteriser to generate rendered fragment data, and a processing stage 6 operable to receive rendered fragment data 3, and to perform a processing operation using the rendered fragment data to generate per-tile metadata 7.

1. A tile based graphics processing pipeline comprising:
rasterisation circuitry that rasterises input primitives to generate graphics fragments to be processed; rendering circuitry that processes fragments generated by the rasterisation circuitry to generate rendered fragment data; and processing stage circuitry operable to receive rendered fragment data, and to perform a processing operation using the rendered fragment data to generate per-tile metadata.
