Original Abstract Submitted
Systems, apparatuses, and methods for rendering textures by prefetching texture data are disclosed. Source texture data is identified based at least in part on one or more programmable instructions. A prefetch of the source texture data is caused based on level of details associated with the source texture data. Further, a list data blocks of the source texture data and a mapping between each data block and corresponding allocated memory address space allocated to each data block on the memory device is maintained. Responsive to a request to load a given data block, the given data block from the memory device is loaded using the list.
