Abstract:
In general, aspects of this disclosure describe example techniques for efficient storage of data of various data types for graphics processing. In some examples, a processing unit may assign first and second contiguous range of addresses for a first and second data type, respectively. The processing unit may store at least one of graphics data of the first or second data type or addresses of the graphics data of the first or second data type within blocks whose addresses are within the first and second contiguous range of addresses, respectively. The processing unit may store, in cache lines of a cache, the graphics data of the first data type, and the graphics data of the second data type.
