ABSTRACT:
A graphics processor includes programmable arithmetic logic units (ALUs) for performing scalar arithmetic operations on pixel packets. For a selected scalar arithmetic operation, operands in pixel packets may be formatted in a S1.8 format to improve dynamic range. For at least one other scalar arithmetic operation, the pixel packets may be formatted in a different data format.
