ABSTRACT:
A rendering processor with texture processing capability, in which textures are retrieved from local storage as n.times.n patches. By retrieving a multi-pixel patch on each memory read, the frequency of memory accesses and page breaks in particular are reduced, resulting in a lower memory access time overhead.
