Fragment shader bypass in a graphics processing unit, and apparatus and method thereof

摘要: Configuration information is used to make a determination bypass fragment shading by shader unit of graphics processing unit, the capable performing both vertex and shader. Based on determination, performs bypasses shading. A element other than such as pixel blender, can be perform some Power managed 'turn off' power unused components in case that bypassed. For example, turned off number arithmetic logic units, using reduced At least one register bank FIFO buffer storing attribute data for use, with texture data, operations another element.
