Patent ID: 8587592

Claim:
A rendering apparatus, comprising: a pre-binning unit to perform pre-binning with respect to each of a plurality of tiles, with respect to at least one object included in a frame, the plurality of tiles being included in the frame; a vertex shading unit to perform vertex shading for each of the plurality of tiles, with respect to the at least one object where the pre-binning is performed; a viewport mapping unit to perform viewport mapping for each vertex of each of the plurality of tiles, with respect to the at least one object where the vertex shading is performed; a primitive assembly unit to assemble the vertexes of the plurality of tiles as a primitive, with respect to the at least one object where the viewport mapping is performed; and a tile binning unit to perform tile binning with respect to the primitive using at least one processor, wherein the tile binning unit sets a binning flag in the data structure that represents the at least one object where the tile binning is performed, and wherein a geometry processing is not performed with respect to the at least one object where the binning flag is set.
