  • Abstract
    A 3D vertex processor with a floating-point 4-threaded and 4-issue VLIW architecture and a TnL vertex cache is implemented for mobile multimedia applications in a 0.18mum 4M CMOS process. The proposed architecture efficiently reduces the total energy consumption and achieves 120Mvertices/s with a 2.5GFLOPS datapath using 157mW when operating at 100MHz
