High Performance Texture Mapping Architectures

摘要: Logic-embedded memories are part of a rapidly emerging technology and offer enormous transfer rates computing power. This is shown with the example TEXRAM, result MONOGRAPH ESPRIT project. We analyze benefits new memory technologies in context current market. show how their use integration to high-performance graphics systems meet price performance requirements determine future market chances. The application highly integrated image compression enables texture mapping. size considerably reduced bandwidth between texturing unit lowered. present alternative solutions ranging from low-cost hardware macrocells high-end mapping architectures integrating logic-enhanced memories.
