Abstract:
A method for sequencing a texture update in a video graphics system that includes a first processor, a second processor, and a memory, the method comprising the steps of:storing, by the first processor, first graphics data in a first position of the memory, wherein the first graphics data utilizes first texture data;storing, by the first processor, second texture data in a second position of the memory, the second position being a position from which data is accessed subsequent to accessing data from the first position;storing, by the first processor, second graphics data in a third position of the memory, wherein the second graphics data utilizes the second texture data and the third position is a position from which data is accessed subsequent to accessing data from the second position; andaccessing, by the seconds processor, the first graphics data, the second texture data and the second graphics data from the memory in a sequential manner such that the texture update is performed following processing of the first graphics data.
