摘要:
One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for collecting operands specified by an instruction. As a sequence of instructions is received the operands specified by the instructions are assigned to ports, so that each one of the operands specified by a single instruction is assigned to a different port. Reading of the operands from a multi-bank register file is scheduled by selecting an operand from each one of the different ports to produce an operand read request and ensuring that two or more of the selected operands are not stored in the same bank of the multi-bank register file. The operands specified by the operand read request are read from the multi-bank register file in a single clock cycle. Each instruction is then executed as the operands specified by the instruction are read from the multi-bank register file and collected over one or more clock cycles.

One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique controlling the pixel location at which the plane equation is evaluated. Multiple pixel offsets (dx, dy) may be specified that each define to a sub-pixel sample position. Attributes are then calculated for each sub-pixel sample position that is covered by a geometric primitive. One advantage of the technique is that anti-aliasing quality may be improved since high frequency color components may be selectively supersampled for particular geometric primitives.
摘要:
A processing unit includes multiple execution pipelines, each of which is coupled to a first input section for receiving input data for pixel processing and a second input section for receiving input data for vertex processing and to a first output section for storing processed pixel data and a second output section for storing processed vertex data. The processed vertex data is rasterized and scan converted into pixel data that is used as the input data for pixel processing. The processed pixel data is output to a raster analyzer.

An apparatus and method for simulating a multi-ported memory using lower port count memories as banks. A collector units gather source operands from the banks as needed to process program instructions. The collector units also gather constants that are used as operands. When all of the source operands needed to process a program instruction have been gathered, a collector unit outputs the source operands to an execution unit while avoiding writeback conflicts to registers specified by the program instruction that may be accessed by other execution units.
