A method for tile-based rendering may include verifying a size of a memory available in an apparatus for rendering, and determining a number of buffers required for performing a rendering based on graphics data input, and may further include determining a size of a tile to be used for performing the rendering based on the determined number of buffers and the size of the memory available.

Method and apparatus for tile-based rendering

A method and apparatus for configuring dynamic data are provided. A compilation apparatus may select a data format showing an optimum performance when a binary code is executed, from among a plurality of data formats supported by an execution apparatus used to execute a binary code, and may generate a binary code that uses the selected data format. The execution apparatus may execute a binary code provided by the compilation apparatus.

Method and apparatus for dynamic data configuration

A method and apparatus for graphic processing using multi-threading includes at least one context task, mediation task, and control task executed by a processor. The at least one context task sequentially generates graphic commands. The mediation task mediates processing of the graphic commands. The mediation task may process a particular graphic command on behalf of the at least one context task, and change a processing order of the graphic commands. The control task transmits the graphic commands to a graphic hardware.

Method and apparatus for graphic processing using multi-threading

Provided is a graphics processing method and apparatus using a post fragment shader. A rendering pipeline of the graphics processing apparatus may include a fragment shader that operates before a raster operator, and a post fragment shader that operates after the raster operator. Each of the fragment shader and the post fragment shader may apply a different effect to each of a plurality of fragments.

Graphics processing method and apparatus using post fragment shader

Provided is an image processing apparatus. Ray tracing may be performed using a general scheme with respect to a plurality of reference pixels among pixels of an image to be rendered. With respect to a pixel excluding the reference pixels, geometry information may be interpolated based on a ray tracing result of adjacent reference pixels.

A method and apparatus for processing a vertex may fetch pieces of position information of vertexes, may extract pieces of target position information from the fetched pieces of position information, may perform tile binning on the pieces of target position information, may fetch pieces of attribute information having same indexes as the pieces of target position information, and may shade the fetched pieces of attribute information.

Method and apparatus for processing vertex

A method to discard pixels early includes a first early depth test maintaining a depth value on a pixel to be discarded by a discard instruction, and a second early depth test updating the depth value on a pixel not to be discarded by the discard instruction. Because of the first and second early depth tests, a number of pixels to be processed by a pixel shading process may be reduced.
