Abstract:
For a given texture address, a texture sampler fetches and reduces texture data with a filter accumulator suitable for providing a weighted average over a variety of filter footprints. A multi-mode texture sampler is configurable to provide both a wide variety of footprints in either a separable or non-separable filter modes and allow for a filter footprint significantly wider than the bi-linear (2×2 texel) footprint. In embodiments, sub-sample addresses are generated by the texture sampler logic to accommodate a desired footprint. The sub-sample addresses may be generated and sequenced by multi-texel units, such as 2×2 texel quads, for efficient filtering. In embodiments, filter coefficients are cached from coefficient tables stored in memory.

Claim (Index 1):
An apparatus comprising:\n a processor comprising: an execution unit to provide an input texture address; and a texture sampler circuitry in communicatively coupled to the execution unit, the texture sampler circuitry to return filtered texture data to the execution unit based on one or more of the input texture address and cached values of a texel cache and a coefficient cache.
