With the advancement of hardware technology, an increasing number of mobile devices support high screen refresh rates such as 120Hz, 144Hz, and even higher. This creates the challenge of increasing frame rates without sacrificing image quality in mobile rendering.
This session introduces a frame-prediction-based rendering method (non-neural network) in Arena Breakout, specifically designed for achieving high frame rates, successfully implemented in the released game.. Frame prediction effectively reuses previously drawn pixels, significantly boosting the game's frame rate and reducing power consumption without adding latency to framebuffer presentation.
The presentation includes the implementation of frame prediction, the corresponding rendering pipelines, accuracy and performance analysis, and a comparison with other solutions.

Takeaway

Attendees will gain insight into high-performance, accurate rendering-based frame prediction implementation (non-neural network) and its corresponding render pipeline. The session will include real game demonstrations and performance data analysis.

Intended Audience

Game developers interested in computer graphics, rendering pipelines, and performance optimization. A basic knowledge of computer graphics and rendering pipelines will be helpful for a deeper comprehension.
