These GPUs are designed to flexibly support vertex and pixel processing with classic techniques such as on-chip cache and dynamic programmable pipelining. However, it is difficult for the vertex shader and pixel shader to achieve high utilization of hardware resources, even though there is a certain balance by reasonable processor quantity ratio. In this paper, a unified render shader with a very long instruction word(VLIW) processor was designed. The viewport transformation algorithm and the Mipmap mapping algorithm are respectively mapped on the shader, with the purpose of providing an energy-efficient and flexible hardware platform for graphics processing in mobile device. The implemented operating frequency is up to 134 MHz on Xilinx XC7 Z045-2-FFG900 field programmable gate array(FPGA), and unified architecture shader has a performance of 134 Mpixels/s in pixel fill rate, 546 Mtexels/s in texel fill rate.展开更多
