Claim Text:
1. A graphics processing system, comprising: a texel cache to store predetermined texel color values; a coefficient cache to store predetermined filter coefficient values; an execution unit to provide an input texture address; and texture sampler logic circuitry communicatively coupled to the execution unit, to the texel cache, and to the coefficient cache, the texture sampler to return filtered texture data to the execution unit based on the input texture address and cached values, wherein the texture sampler is further to generate a sequence of texel sub-sample addresses based on the input texture address and a filter footprint identifying one or more texel sub-sampling position within a bounding region, and wherein the sequence comprises groupings of a predetermined number of sub-samples associated with a set of neighboring texels that contain at least one contributing texel.
