Kaufman2014-02-062014-02-061991--https://doi.org/10.2312/EGGH/EGGH91/157-174We present an architecture for a high-performance programmable rendering engine.This chip or chip-set will be able to deliver one Gouraud-shaded, z-buffered, texturemodulated and alpha-blended pixel every clock cycle. Focus of the paper is the derivation of the architecture of the pixel processing block from the applied algorithms."
