Abstract
This paper proposes a design of the tile based on graphic pipeline to improve the graphic application performance in SIMT based GP-GPU. The proposed Tile based on graphics pipeline avoids unnecessary graphic processing operation, and processes the rasterization step in parallel. The massive data processing in parallel through SIMT architecture improve the computational performance, thereby improving the 3D graphic pipeline performance. The more vertex data of 3D model, the higher performance. The proposed structure was confirmed to improve processing performance of up to 3 times from about 1.18 times as compared to 'RAMP' and previous studies.
