Abstract
A method and system may include a chip having graphics rendering hardware, a cache and a processor to execute an application with texture allocation logic to receive notification of a page miss from the graphics rendering hardware. The logic can map the page miss to a tile of a texture image, store the tile as an entry to the cache, and map the entry to a virtual address space of a virtual image corresponding to the texture image. The system may also include off-chip memory to store the texture image.
