Abstract
A tiled-based graphics processor that comprises a plurality of tiling units is disclosed. The graphics processor includes an assigning circuit that assigns tiling units to process draw calls or draw call parts, and causes assigned tiling units to process draw calls or draw call parts.
Claims19
A tiled-based graphics processor comprising:
- a plurality of tiling units;
- and
- an assigning circuit configured to, for each of one or more draw calls and/or draw call parts to be processed to generate a render output:
- assign a tiling unit of the plurality of tiling units to process the respective draw call or draw call part;
- and
- cause the assigned tiling unit to process the respective draw call or draw call part.
A method of operating a tiled-based graphics processor that comprises a plurality of tiling units;
- the method comprising:
- for each of one or more draw calls and/or draw call parts to be processed to generate a render output:
- assigning a tiling unit of the plurality of tiling units to process the respective draw call or draw call part;
- and
- the assigned tiling unit processing the respective draw call or draw call part.
A non-transitory computer readable storage medium storing software code which when executing on a processor performs a method of operating a tiled-based graphics processor that comprises a plurality of tiling units;
- the method comprising:
- for each of one or more draw calls and/or draw call parts to be processed to generate a render output:
- assigning a tiling unit of the plurality of tiling units to process the respective draw call or draw call part;
- and
- the assigned tiling unit processing the respective draw call or draw call part.
