Abstract:
A decoder unit is configured to decode a plurality of texels in accordance with a texel request, the plurality of texels being encoded across one or more blocks of encoded texture data each encoding a block of texels, and includes a first set of one or more decoders, each of the first set of decoders being configured to decode n texels from a single received block of encoded texture data; a second set of or more decoders, each of the second set of decoders being configured to decode p texels from a single received block of encoded texture data, where p<n; and control logic configured to allocate blocks of encoded texture data to the decoders in accordance with the texel request.

Claim (Index 11):
A decoder unit as claimed in  claim 1 , wherein each encoded block of texture data is encoded according to an Adaptable Scalable Texture Compression (ASTC) format, and each of the first set of decoders comprises:\n a parameter decode unit configured to decode configuration data for the received block of texture data; a colour decode unit configured to decode colour endpoint data for n texels of the received block in dependence on the configuration data; a weight decode unit configured to decode interpolation weight data for each of the n texels of the received block in dependence on the configuration data; and at least one interpolator unit configured to calculate a colour value for each of the n texels of the received block using the interpolation weight data for that texel and a pair of colour endpoints from the colour endpoint data; wherein at least one of the parameter decode unit, colour decode unit and weight decode unit are configured to decode intermediate data from the received block that is common to the decoding of the texels of that block and to use that decoded intermediate data in the decoding of at least two of the n texels from the received block of texture data.
