What are we leaving out in terms of gate count?

• There are many different blending modes available in OpenGL.

  • This will translate into extra gate count in terms of muxes for choosing different blending SRC, DEST factors

• Neglecting control, storage of state, parameter information

• We will use this to get a very rough guesstimate of gate count

  • In real world application, would need many refinements but approach is still valid.
