Abstract: An atomic layer deposition method for manufacturing a platinum-based alloy catalyst includes applying a support in a reactor and depositing an alloy of platinum and a non-platinum metal on the support through a super cycle comprising a first sub-cycle and a second sub-cycle.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for processing graphic data, which are capable of decreasing a bandwidth of a memory, are provided. The method of processing graphic data includes receiving first graphic data and processing the first graphic data to generate second graphic data, and storing the generated second graphic data in a first shared memory line in which a state bit is set to a first state, wherein the first shared memory line is included in a first memory line set which is a part of an n-way set associative cache structure (n is a natural number equal to or greater than 2), at least one of the memory lines of the first memory line set is set to a second state which is different from the first state, and the state bit represents whether data stored in the memory line is replaceable.

Abstract: Provided is an apparatus and method for controlling rendering quality. The method for controlling rendering quality includes a thermal sensor sensing a temperature of a chip, a hull shader determining a level of detail (LOD) based on the temperature; and a tessellator tessellating segments that are divided according to the level of detail.

Abstract: Techniques, apparatus and system are described for providing a hardware-type vector graphics acceleration. In one aspect, a hardware-type vector graphics accelerator includes graphics processing modules to communicate with a controller unit. The graphics processing modules include at least one of a rasterizing setup module, a scissor module, a paint generation module, an alpha masking module, and a blending module connected together according to a pipeline architecture to perform two-dimensional (2D) vector graphics acceleration in response to one or more commands received from the controller unit.

Abstract: Techniques, apparatus and system for processing 3D graphics are provided. A graphics processor includes a fixed pipeline code generator to convert an application programming interface (API) supporting a fixed pipeline into first microcodes, a shader pipeline code generator to convert an API supporting a programmable pipeline into second microcodes, and a shader pipeline to process the first or second microcodes by using a shader program.
