Sort Middle Pipeline Architecture for Efficient 3D Rendering

This paper presents a high performance fixed function 3D graphics pipeline based on sort-middle computing paradigm. The proposed architecture implements the full specification of the OpenGL|ES 1.1 open standard and is specifically designed for a cost effective integration on consumer devices, in particular on low-power mobile ones.

Adaptive Frame Rate Up-conversion for 3D Graphics Pipelines

This paper presents a novel 3D graphics pipeline for consumer devices able to achieve increased frame-rate at its output, high picture quality, improved temporal anti-aliasing, thanks to a frame-rate up-conversion algorithm based on motion extraction from 3D primitives and efficient compensation, without the need for any motion estimation tool.
