Abstract
Disclosed is a graphics processing apparatus based on hybrid GPU architecture. The graphics processing apparatus includes: an acceleration structure generation unit generating an acceleration structure based on geometry data related to a 3D scene; a ray tracing unit performing ray tracing based on the acceleration structure; and a rasterization unit including a sharing interface for shader-sharing with the ray tracing unit and performing rasterization rendering by sharing shading information generated from a result of the ray tracing.
