Abstract
The present disclosure relates to a texture sampling method and apparatus based on merge processing of texel requests. The present disclosure merges target texel requests in the same cache line together, which reduces the number of cache hit tests. A pressure on the cache of next level to process texel requests may be significantly reduced, and the speed of texture sampling may be increased. The method includes: creating a texture sampling request, where the texture sampling request includes a pixel to be processed; obtaining multiple target texel requests based on pixel coordinates of the pixel to be processed; performing a merge processing on the multiple target texel requests according to a preset rule, and obtaining a merge table of texel requests; sequentially performing cache hit tests on the multiple target texel requests to obtain target texels based on the valid cache lines in the merge table of texel requests.
