摘要： A system includes a processing unit and a register file. The register file includes at least a first memory structure and a second memory structure. The first memory structure has a lower access energy than the second memory structure. The processing unit is configured to address the register file using a single logical namespace for both the first memory structure and the second memory structure.

摘要： In computer graphics, texture refers to a type of surface, including the material characteristics, that can be applied to an object in an image. A texture may be defined using numerous parameters, such as color(s), roughness, glossiness, etc. In some implementations, a texture may be represented as an image that can be placed on a three-dimensional (3D) model of an object to give surface details to the 3D object. To reduce a size of textures (e.g. for storage and transmission), the present disclosure provides, in one embodiment, for compression of a texture set using a non-linear function and quantization. In another embodiment, the disclosure provides for compression of one or more textures using a non-linear function configured to compress textures with an arbitrary number of channels and/or an arbitrary ordering of channels.
