Abstract:
1. An image processing apparatus for generating pixel data based on information concerning a primitive to be drawn and simultaneously processing a plurality of pixels, the image processing apparatus comprising: a large region data generation circuit including: a large region data division circuit including a region data generation circuit for dividing the large region data into a plurality of unit region data corresponding to the plurality of unit regions, and outputting the plurality of unit region data to a texture engine circuit; a memory interface circuit for receiving, from the texture engine circuit, information based on the plurality of unit region data output from the large region data division circuit; and a processing circuit for performing graphics drawing processing in parallel for a plurality of pixels located in a predetermined region of the primitive based on the information based on the region data output from the region data division circuit, wherein the texture engine is for processing different unit region data of the plurality of unit region data sequentially and not simultaneously, while processing pixels corresponding to each of the plurality of unit region data simultaneously.
