IPC: G06T15/00
Filed: 2018-10-23
Abstract: When generating a set of tile-lists for use in a tile-based graphics processing system for rendering a scene, vertex data is obtained for a plurality of draw calls. The obtained vertex data is then processed to generate for each of the draw calls data indicative of which tile(s) the primitives associated with that draw call should be rendered. The vertex data for at least some of the plurality of draw calls can be obtained and processed out of order and/or in parallel and the data is then sorted based on a desired rendering order to generating tile-lists identifying the sequence of draw calls to be rendered. The generated data may be sorted using a re-ordering buffer and the generated data for each draw call may be written to a data location and a pointer list is generated identifying the data locations. A tiler pipeline can include parallel vertex prefetchers 51, index driver vertex shading first in first out buffers 52, vertex fetcher 53, primitive processing stage 54, primitive reorder buffer 55. Ordered tile lists can be extracted from the reorder buffer 55 and passed to the write back stage 57.
