Abstract
Graphics processing units (GPUs) are used, for example, to process data related to three-dimensional objects or scenes and to render the three-dimensional data onto a two-dimensional display screen. One embodiment, among others, of a unified cache system used in a GPU comprises a data storage device and a storage device controller. The data storage device is configured to store graphics data processed by or to be processed by one or more shader units. The storage device controller is placed in communication with the data storage device. The storage device controller is configured to dynamically control a storage allocation of the graphics data within the data storage device.
