Abstract: A method of a graphics-processing unit (GPU) for tile-based rendering of a display area and a graphics-processing apparatus are provided. The method includes the steps of computing vertex positions of a plurality of vertexes, wherein the first vertex corresponds to a first thread and the second vertex corresponds to a second thread; determining whether a thread merge condition is satisfied; merging the first thread and the second thread to a thread group when determining that the thread merge condition is satisfied; computing vertex varyings of the plurality of vertexes, wherein when the first thread and the second thread are merged to the thread group, a varying of the first vertex and a varying of the second vertex are computed with respect to a program counter.
