3 results about "Texture memory" patented technology

Texture memory is a type of digital storage that makes texture data readily available to video rendering processors (also known as GPUs), typically 3D graphics hardware. It is most often (but not always) implemented as specialized RAM (TRAM) that is designed for rapid reading and writing, enabling the graphics hardware increased performance in rendering 3D imagery.

A texture memory bank read access optimization system and optimization method

The application provides a texture memory bank read access optimization system and optimization method, conflict detection is performed on generated 16-way texture addresses, texture addresses accessing the same texture block are composed into address groups, a plurality of address groups are obtained, a conflict flag of each address group and an effective texel mark bit in the group are generated, and an access request and the conflict flag are sent to a corresponding storage unit Bank in parallel according to each address group; when each storage unit Bank receives the access request, corresponding texture block data is returned, and a data assembly module reads corresponding texel data from the corresponding texture block data in parallel according to the effective texel mark bit in each address group. The application performs feature comparison conflict detection on texture addresses in parallel, groups the texture storage unit Bank, and then outputs in parallel, without preprocessing, and is not coupled with other parts in the texture unit, and is easy to implement; and the design mode of the pipeline is adopted, and the execution efficiency is high.

Sampler feedback for texture space shading

This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatus, and methods, including computer programs encoded on storage media, for sampler feedback for texture space shading. A processor may assign each shading element in a set of shading elements associated with a geometry unit to a corresponding shading element group in a set of shading element groups. The processor may identify whether each shading element is a visible shading element. The processor may calculate a group offset value for each shading element group in the set of shading element groups based on a number of visible shading elements in the set of shading elements. The processor may calculate an element offset value for each shading element based on a number of visible shading elements. The processor may allocate, based on the element offset value and the group offset value, texture memory to the visible shading elements.

Sampler feedback for texture space coloring

This disclosure provides systems, devices, apparatuses, and methods, including computer programs encoded on a storage medium, for sampler feedback for texture space shading. The processor may assign each shading element of the set of shading elements associated with the geometry unit to a corresponding group of shading elements of the set of groups of shading elements. The processor may identify whether each coloring element is a visible coloring element. The processor may calculate a group offset value for each of the set of pigmented elements based on a number of visible pigmented elements of the set of pigmented elements. The processor may calculate an element offset value for each colored element based on the number of visible colored elements. The processor may assign a texture memory to the visible colored element based on the element offset value and the set of offset values.
