Abstract
A texture filtering unit includes a datapath block and a control block. The datapath block includes one or more parallel computation pipelines, each containing at least one hardware logic component configured to receive a plurality of inputs and generate an output value as part of a texture filtering operation. The control block includes a plurality of sequencers and an arbiter. Each sequencer executes a micro-program that defines a sequence of operations to be performed by the one or more pipelines in the datapath block as part of a texture filtering operation and the arbiter controls access, by the sequencers, to the one or more pipelines in the datapath based on predefined prioritization rules.
