Aetheric Silicon: turn this host's RAM into a Digital GPU endpoint
//! Software rasterizer — tile-batched variant.
//!
//! Real GPUs render in 16x16 or 32x32 tiles, sharing:
//!   - Texture cache state across pixels in a tile
//!   - Cull tests across pixels
//!   - Hi-Z depth-reject across pixels (Hi-Z = hierarchical Z)
//!
//! Software rasterization has been throughput-bound for the same reason dGPUs use
//! tile-based rendering: when many pixels read the same texel, we want them to
//! share the load. RLE-style: a 16x16 tile = 256 pixels, but adjacent pixels
//! typically share ~half their texture fetches when texture is in cache.
//!
//! Strategy: render in 8x8 tiles. For each tile, pre-load the relevant 8x8 texel
//! block from texture once, then do all fragment work against the local cache.
//!
//! For a 720p frame at 8x8 tiles = 90 x 160 = 14,400 tiles. Each tile does
//! 64 fragment computations but only ~64 texture loads / 16 unique = ~4 effective
//! texture loads per pixel = 4x texture bandwidth saving.
