Graphics processor that performs warping, rendering system having the graphics processor, and method of operating the graphics processor

A rendering system comprising:

• a timer configured to generate, without an intervention from a host, cycle information representing a warping timing according to a certain period;
• a graphics processor configured to perform rendering in response to a command from ft the host to generate rendered frame data;
• and
• a memory comprising a memory region that stores the rendered frame data, and a processor configured to, based on the cycle information, periodically perform warping according to the certain period, without a context switch from rendering to the warping by the host, by using the rendered frame data and sensing information provided from an external source, and store a warped image in the memory region,
• wherein the warping is performed without requiring the host to execute a program to perform the context switch from the rendering to the warping.

A method of operating a graphics processor, the method comprising:

• generating rendered frame data in response to a command from a host;
• determining a warping timing according to a certain period, based on timing information received without an intervention of the host;
• periodically performing warping according to the certain period, without a context switch from rendering to the warping by the host, based on the rendered frame data and sensing information received independent of the host;
• and
• notifying the host that the warping has been completed,
• wherein the warping is performed without requiring the host to execute a program to perform the context switch from the rendering to the warping.
