Abstract:
A processor and a system are provided for performing texturing operations. The processor includes a texture return buffer having a plurality of slots for storing texture values and one or more texture units coupled to the texture return buffer. Each of the slots of the texture return buffer are addressable by a thread. Each texture unit is configured to allocate a slot of the texture return buffer when the texture unit generates a texture value.
