Morphology
Although 'rendering machine' is compositionally a 'machine that renders', the ordinary B1 sense of 'render' given (to cover masonry with plaster) does not match the technical computing sense (to generate images). This is domain-specific vocabulary (technical jargon/polysemy) so a learner who only knows the common meanings of the parts is unlikely to infer the intended meaning without prior exposure.
Etymology
Rendering machine comes from the verb render meaning 'to make the final picture' in computer work; it is like a factory machine that turns 3D data into images or frames, so the phrase means a computer that creates images and animations.
