GRAPHICS DISPLAY PROCESSING DEVICE, GRAPHICS DISPLAY PROCESSING METHOD, AND VEHICLE EQUIPPED WITH GRAPHICS DISPLAY PROCESSING DEVICE

摘要

A graphics display processing device including: a graphics processor that executes GPU instructions based on a primary drawing instruction and a secondary drawing instruction; an acquirer) that acquires the primary drawing instruction and the secondary drawing instruction; an estimator that calculates an estimated GPU processing time required for executing the GPU instructions; a determiner that determines, using the estimated GPU processing time, which of the primary drawing instruction and the secondary drawing instruction is to be executed first; an issuance controller that performs a control when the primary drawing instruction is to be executed first, causing the primary drawing instruction to be issued and issuance of the secondary drawing instruction to be postponed; an instruction issuer that issues each drawing instruction according to the control of the issuance controller; and a graphics driver that generates the GPU instructions by executing each drawing instruction issued.

主权项

1. A graphics display processing device that displays, in a single frame, a primary graphic requiring immediate display and a secondary graphic not requiring immediate display, the graphics display processing device comprising:
a program storage that stores a primary drawing instruction specifying drawing of the primary graphic and a secondary drawing instruction specifying drawing of the secondary graphic; a graphics processor that performs drawing processing by executing GPU instructions generated based on each drawing instruction; an acquirer that acquires the primary drawing instruction and the secondary drawing instruction from the program storage; an estimator that calculates an estimated GPU processing time required for the drawing processing by the graphics processor due to execution of the GPU instructions generated based on the primary drawing instruction or the secondary drawing instruction; a determiner that determines, by using the estimated GPU processing time, which of the primary drawing instruction and the secondary drawing instruction is to be executed first; an issuance controller that performs a control when the determiner determines that the primary drawing instruction is to be executed first, causing the primary drawing instruction to be issued and issuance of the secondary drawing instruction to be postponed; an instruction issuer that issues each drawing instruction according to the control of the issuance controller; and an instruction executor that generates the GPU instructions by executing each drawing instruction issued.
