Abstract :
Redundant operations and stalls prevent a rendering pipeline from full-speed operation. To speed up the rendering pipeline, a triple queue structure is proposed to smooth the pipeline and to obtain benefit from deferred lighting. The results of cycle-accurate simulation show that the proposed structure can reduce rendering cycles to 52.9% in small size queues
