Abstract
A graphics processing apparatus includes a graphics processor and a constant cache. The graphics processor has a number of execution instances that will generate requests for constant data from the constant cache. The constant cache stores constants of multiple constant types. The constant cache has a single level of hierarchy to store the constant data. The constant cache has a banking structure based on the number of execution instances, where the execution instances generate requests for the constant data with unified messaging that is the same for the different types of constant data.
