ABSTRACT:
A method and a system for the nonlinear storage of data points of a texture map matrix within a linear memory device has two embodiments. A first embodiment involves the implementation of subdividing the texture map matrix into storage matrixes, and storing each storage matrix into distinct memory locations within the linear memory device. Each storage matrix includes at least one pair of adjacent data points from two adjacent row of data points. As a result, data points of the texture map matrix are in a nonlinear storage arrangement within the linear memory device. A second embodiment involves the implementation of subdividing the rows of the texture map matrix into multi-data point groups, and placing adjacent multi-data point groups into a linear string. The linear string is subsequently written to the linear memory device. As a result, data points of the texture map matrix are in a nonlinear storage arrangement within the linear memory device.
