Research on quantitative performance model of GPU graphics processing based on unified rendering architecture

Abstract

The unified rendering architecture GPU provides a rich graphics computing and storage resources and puts forward higher requirements for software optimization. To design and optimize performance effectively for the unified rendering architecture GPU，on the basis of research on the unified rendering architecture GPU architecture and working principle, this paper analyses the various factors influencing the graphics: graphic instruction generation, host interface data transfer, graphic instruction parsing, graphics processing pipeline and unified rendering array processing capability. In the process of development of GPU, using this method to design each part of the performance indicators, through the simulation shows that the model assessment graphics performance and the measured phase, the error is less than 7.5 percent.
