Abstract

The invention discloses a method of a graphic processing device, a unit and execution triangular configuration and property configuration. Each embodiment thereof comprises at least one execution unit which can be used for the multithreading operation and also can execute at least one thread of the triangular configuration operation and the property configuration operation, and the thread used for the operation of a pixel shader, a geometry shader and a vertex shader. The inventive method of the graphic processing device, the unit and execution triangular configuration, and the property configuration, can reduce the number of the gates in the system via removing at least parts of the hardware components and cause the more effective graphics pipelines with flexibility and expansibility to the modification of the bugs, the accession of the new characters or the adjustment of the algorithm.

Description

technical field [0001] The present invention relates to computer graphics systems, and more particularly to systems and methods for the triangle configuration and attribute configuration stages of a graphics pipeline. Background technique [0002] As is well known, the art and science of three-dimensional ("3-D") computer graphics is concerned with the generation or reproduction of two-dimensional ("2-D") images of 3-D objects for display or representation on display devices or monitors, Such as a cathode ray tube (CathodeRay Tube, CRT) or a liquid crystal display (Liquid Crystal Display, LCD). Objects can be simple geometric primitives such as points, line segments, triangles or polygons. By representing an object as a series of connected planar polygons, such as by representing an object as a series of connected planar triangles, more complex objects can be rendered on the display device. All geometric primitives can ultimately be described by a vertex or a set of vertic...
