Patent abstract
A circuit arrangement and method perform concurrent texture processing of groups of pixels with a single instruction multiple data (SIMD) execution unit to improve the utilization of the SIMD execution unit when performing scalar operations associated with a texture processing algorithm. In addition, when utilized in connection with a multi-threaded SIMD execution unit, groups of pixels may be concurrently processed in different threads executed by the SIMD execution unit to further maximize the utilization of the SIMD execution unit by reducing the adverse effects of dependencies in scalar and/or vector operations incorporated into a texture processing algorithm.
