GRAPHICS PROCESSING UNIT (GPU) INCLUDING SUBDIVIDER AND DEVICE INCLUDING THE GPU

摘要

A graphics processing unit (GPU) includes a subdivider connected between a vertex shader and a domain shader. The subdivider receives first points of a first patch from the vertex shader, computes and assigns a tessellation factor for the first patch, generates second patches by refining the first patch using the first points and the tessellation factor, determines whether each of the second patches satisfies a tessellation criterion, and feeds back a patch that does not satisfy the tessellation criterion among the second patches to an input of the subdivider as a first feedback patch.
