Abstract
A graphic processing unit (GPU) with a configurable filtering module (CFU) and an operation method thereof are presented. The graphic processing unit comprises a memory module and a configurable filtering module. The memory module stores at least one texture image. The configurable filtering module, connected to the memory module, comprises a plurality of filter equations, from which a filter equation is selected. A plurality of pixel points are sampled from the texture image. Each sampled pixel point is set with a weight value respectively. Each sampled pixel point with a weight value corresponding thereto is substituted into the selected filter equation to perform an operational process to acquire an operated value. Thereby, the user can decide the operation method of the GPU by selecting an appropriate filter equation and setting adjustable parameters in the filter equation.
