Claim 16:
17. The input/output filter unit of claim 16, wherein:
the control logic is configured to cause the filter bank to perform a filtering task of a plurality of filtering tasks, the plurality of filtering tasks comprising texture filtering tasks and pixel filtering tasks;
causing the filter bank to perform a pixel filtering task comprises causing the filter bank to perform one of the one or more types of pixel filtering on a set of data stored in the first buffer by the arithmetic logic unit cluster using a set of weights stored in the weight buffer, and store the results of the pixel filtering in the second buffer to be output to the memory; and
causing the filter bank to perform a texture filtering task comprises causing the filter bank to perform one of the one or more types of texture filtering on a set of data stored in the second buffer from the memory using a set of weights stored in the weight buffer, and store the results of the texture filtering in the first buffer to be output to the arithmetic logic unit cluster.
