ABSTRACT:
A rendering apparatus includes a rasterizer, pixel processing units and memories. The rasterizer generates pixels corresponding to graphics. The pixel processing units execute rendering operations for the pixels generated by the rasterizer. The pixels rendered by the same pixel processing unit are positioned substantially equidistantly and isotropically within a rendering area. The memories are provided in association with the respective pixel processing units and store data of the pixels rendered by the associated pixel processing units.
