Abstract
A parallel processor and a method of reducing texture cache invalidation are disclosed. In one embodiment, the parallel processor includes a cache configured to receive lines of data; and a parallel execution unit associated with the cache and configured to execute parallel counterparts of an operation. The parallel counterparts, when executed, are configured to create, in the cache, corresponding aliases of a line of data pertaining to the operation such that the parallel counterparts are operable to invalidate only the corresponding aliases.
