发明名称 Method and apparatus for accomplishing Z-buffering by prediction
摘要 A method for accelerating the writing of data to a Z buffer including the steps of reading the Z value presently stored at a position in the Z buffer; writing a new Z value to the position in the Z buffer if the result of a last available comparison in a sequence of comparisons wrote a new Z value to a position in the Z buffer, writing the Z value read back to the position in the Z buffer if the result of a last available comparison in a sequence of comparisons wrote the Z value read back to a position in the Z buffer, and comparing the Z value read from the position of the Z buffer with the new Z value; and rewriting the correct value to the Z buffer if the comparison of the Z value read from the position of the Z buffer with the new Z value demonstrates that the value written was incorrect.
