A device for processing image data is disclosed. The device may determine a dominant texture with respect to each of a plurality of regions constituting an image. The device may group in a same group, from among the plurality of regions, regions in which the determined dominant texture is the same, and process allocated image data according to a result of grouping.

Method and device for processing image data

Provided are methods and apparatuses for adjusting the processing sequence of draw commands for rendering images. The rendering method including determining, at a processing sequence determiner, previous draw commands that are identical to current draw commands; de-termining a processing sequence of the current draw commands based on depth information of the determined previous draw commands; and performing a Z-test on the current draw commands based on the processing sequence, and performing shading based on a result of the Z-test.

Apparatus and method of rendering frame by adjusting processing sequence of draw commands

Multiple-thread processing apparatuses and methods are provided. The multiple-thread processing method may include searching for loops in a plurality of threads, calculating a number of repetitions of each of found loops in respective threads among the plurality of threads, determining one or more threads based on the calculated number of repetitions of each of the found loops, dividing at least one of the one or more determined threads into child threads, and processing the child threads separately from one another in the plurality of threads.

Multiple-thread processing methods and apparatuses

A memory apparatus including multiple buffers includes a memory controller configured to obtain memory allocation information based on a multi-write operation command, and a memory configured to store same graphics data in each of multiple buffers in a memory based on the memory allocation information.

Memory apparatus including multiple buffers and method of driving memory including multiple buffers

Provided are apparatuses and methods for rendering. The methods analyze draw commands and graphics states, generate hierarchical graphics states from the graphics states based on a graphics state common to the draw commands, and perform rendering of an image frame based on the hierarchical graphics states. The apparatuses use a hierarchical state generator and a graphics processing unit (GPU) to perform the rendering method.

Rendering apparatus and method

Provided is a method of managing commands, which includes receiving a frame buffer object (FBO) change command, comparing an FBO designated by the FBO change command with a FBO currently processed by a graphics processing unit (GPU) to determine whether the two FBOs are the same as each other, and managing the FBO change command or a flush command based on a result of the comparison.
