Abstract:
1. A graphic processing system including a processor configured to execute software code stored in non-transitive electronic storage to compute a texture coordinate, the graphic processing system comprising: a memory device to store a plurality of texture maps; a texture coordinate generator coupled to the memory device, wherein the texture coordinate generator includes: a processor configured to compute a final texture coordinate using an arithmetic operation exclusive of a division operation; and an identification logic, wherein the identification logic identifies an integer component and a fraction component of a floating point texture coordinate; and wherein the identification logic further configured to identify the integer component of the floating point texture coordinate, according to the following: where S designates the floating point texture coordinate, and St designates the integer component of the floating point texture coordinate; wherein the processor is configured to compute an intermediate texture coordinate based on the fraction component and to set the final texture component equal to the intermediate texture coordinate; and a display device coupled to the texture coordinate generator, the display device to display a representation of one of the plurality of texture maps according to the final texture coordinate.
