Abstract: A cache memory system and a caching method for a tile-based rendering may be provided. Each of cache lines in the cache memory system may include delayed-replacement information. The delayed-replacement information may indicate whether texture data referred to at a position of an edge of a tile is included in a cache line. When a cache line corresponding to an access-requested address is absent in the cache memory system, the cache memory system may select and remove a cache line to be removed from an associative cache unit, based on delayed-replacement information.

Abstract: A ray tracing core comprises a ray tracing unit (RTU), a control unit, and a tree build unit (TBU). The ray tracing unit performs ray tracing based on a spatial partitioning structure. The control unit calculates the degree of complexity of the spatial partitioning structure by monitoring the load state of the ray tracing unit. The tree build unit builds the spatial partitioning structure having the degree of complexity which is calculated. The load state is determined based on a frame rate which is processed in the pertinent unit. The spatial partitioning structure applies a K-dimensional tree. For example, the degree of complexity can be modified according to either the maximum primitive number of a leaf node with respect to a K-dimensional tree structure or a tree depth.

Abstract: A method for selecting a MIP-map level is used for Texture Mapping based on Global Illumination. The method for selecting the MIP-map level confirms Object information on at least one object on a screen. The object information can include the number, shape, and the composition of objects on the screen, and/or the spatial position of a relevant object on the screen. Based on the object information, a MIP-map level selection algorithm is determined. The MIP-map level selection algorithm includes ray tracing and/or distance measuring, wherein the ray tracing selects the MIP-map based on the Differential value of adjacent rays, and the distance measuring can select a MIP-map by calculating the distance at which the ratio of pixels and texels reach 1:1. Based on the determined method, the MIP-map level is selected.
