A system to process a plurality of vertices to model an object. An embodiment of the system includes a processor, a front end unit coupled to the processor, and cache configuration logic coupled to the front end unit and the processor. The processor is configured to process the plurality of vertices. The front end unit is configured to communicate vertex data to the processor. The cache configuration logic is configured to establish a cache line size of a vertex cache based on a vertex size of a drawing command.

System and method for dynamically reconfiguring a vertex cache

A system to facilitate virtual page translation. An embodiment of the system includes a processing device, a front end unit, and address translation logic. The processing device is configured to process data of a current block of data. The front end unit is coupled to the processing device. The front end unit is configured to access the current block of data in an electronic memory device and to send the current block of data to the processor for processing. The address translation logic is coupled to the front end unit and the electronic memory device. The address translation logic is configured to pre-fetch a virtual address translation for a predicted virtual address based on a virtual address of the current block of data. Embodiments of the system increase address translation performance of computer systems including graphic rendering operations.
