This column examines the texture cache, an essential component of modern GPUs that plays an important role in achieving real-time performance when generating realistic images. GPUs have many components and the texture cache is only one of them. But it has a real impact on the performance of the GPU if rasterization and memory tiling are set up correctly.
GPUs have become an attractive target for accelerating parallel applications and delivering significant speedups and energy-efficiency gains over multicore CPUs. Programming GPUs, however, remains challenging because existing GPUs lack the well-defined memory model required to support high-level languages such as C++ and Java. The authors tackle this challenge with Temporal Coherence, a simple and...
