Embodiment
After having summarized various viewpoint of the present invention, existing will be in detail referring to as graphic in illustrated description of the invention.Though will graphicly describe the present invention in conjunction with these, and be not intended to the present invention is limited to disclosed one or more embodiment of this paper.Be included in the spirit of the present invention that defines by the claims of enclosing and in the category all substitute, modification and equipollent but be intended to contain.
Disclosed system of the present invention and method can be used for managing effectively and the tissue texture data so that (for example) texture filter when handling required any data texturing in graphic system, can be easy to acquisition.Usually, receive the data texturing of numerous different-formats and size, if do not take into account in the size of these data or the use that the composition mode may cause texture quick access to memory resource than inefficiency from system storage.This kind be inefficient leads therefore one and postpones for existing too much when the acquisition data texturing.Understandably, the acquisition texture causes delay in handling these data as the delay of brick data (texture tiling data).Therefore exist more efficiently storing texture as the needs of the system and the method for brick data, to reach fast processing graph data in the computer graphical environment.
Therefore, the present invention discloses according to the form based on texture tile and compresses the also system and the method for storing texture diagram data.Mip pinup picture (mipmap) typically refers to the predetermined gathering of the image of following main texture.The predetermined gathering of these images only is the duplicate of main texture low resolution.When observe from a distance particular artifact so that object and on every side texture become more hour, the mip pinup picture is useful.When observing the less version of object, can switch to a mip pinup picture image that is fit to based on level of resolution, to present the texture resolution that is fit to grade.Compare with real-time calculating,, reproduce the required time of object so use the mip pinup picture to reduce owing to only need search pre-fixing simply.
Each mip grade in the mip pinup picture chain all is assigned a detail grade, and (level ofdetail, LOD) value is with the indication level of resolution.The LOD value is high more, and image is more little and resolution is low more.Anticipate promptly, along with object is more and more far away apart from the observer, the complexity of object (for example in texture) thereupon diminishes.For the purpose of nomenclature used in the present invention, use interchangeably between term " detail grade " and the term " mip grade ".For given demonstration, may store a plurality of surfaces.Each of these surfaces is stored in a continuous manner.In addition, these surperficial texture maps data can Several Methods be stored.Lift a limiting examples, can be according to the form storing texture data of " based on mip ".That is the organizational form of the texture tile of data texturing is that first texture tile of each mip grade (for example, texture tile 0) is stored in together.Therefore, texture tile 0 of the texture tile 0 of the texture tile 0 of mip grade 1, mip grade 2, mip grade 3 etc. is stored in together all in a continuous manner.This process extends to next texture tile (for example texture tile 1) of all mip grades, or the like.Perhaps, can be according to the mip grade or with the form storing texture data of " based on texture tile ".Therefore, texture tile 2 of the texture tile 1 of the texture tile 0 of mip grade 1, mip grade 1, mip grade 1 etc. all is stored in together.Anticipate promptly, all texture tile with identical mip grade are stored in together all in a continuous manner.This process extends to all texture tile of next the highest mip grade, or the like.
Usually the texture maps data are to store according to the form based on mip.Embodiments of the invention concentrate on the method for form storing texture data of usefulness " based on texture tile ".As further described herein, embodiments of the invention pass through data " extruding " or compressed together, so that less texture tile does not occupy the interior whole texture of texture quick access to memory as brick, and then increased the efficient of acquisition data texturing, storage space whereby avoids waste.
Usually, texture tile is meant the 2D image that is used to reproduce the 3D object.Texel (texel) is the 2D point in the image, and is the fundamental construction piece (building block) that is used for the texture space of graphics process.Texel is usually by two coordinates (u and v) come addressing.Texture is represented by the array of texel usually.In the texture process, can carry out texture and seek to find out each texel center and where drop on go the texture.Because texturizing surfaces may be at any distance and place, orientation with respect to the observer, so a pixel is not usually directly corresponding to a texel, must use the optimum color that certain filtered version is determined pixel, yet invalid or incorrect filtration will present as finished image.
Usually, when volume (volume) texture mechanism was discussed, certain attributes was common.At first, when reproducing volume textures, on basis piecewise, reproduce each texture tile usually respectively.When reading a volume texture, usually with the moving direction of random fashion execution about grain surface.When specifying texture sample, three coordinates are assigned to 3D (three-dimensional) texture (that is, volume textures).The change of coordinate in each of three dimensions equates on probability usually.Therefore, the object probability that moves through a given texture tile is usually identical with object mobile probability in same texture tile.As an illustration, suppose that a 3D texture is by (r) coordinate space defines for u, v, and the change on u and the v direction can cause needing to sample, and the change on the r direction can cause needing to sample across a plurality of texture tile in given texture tile.Therefore, the texture tile that will be in the adjacency of identical mip grade as far as possible closely is stored in each other and is the preferable practice in the memory cache, so that allow more effective data acquisition.Ideally, these can be stored in same in the texture quick access to memory in abutting connection with texture tile and get soon in the page or leaf (page), and even in same fast line taking (line).Usually, the different views on particular texture surface will be contained the texture tile and the mip grade of certain quantity.Therefore, the reproduction target array of the texture tile that the generation of a view can be by comprising the mip grade of crossing over certain number is set up.As limiting examples, a certain view may comprise that texture tile 0 is to texture tile 5 and mip grade 1 to 3.Therefore, this view is encompassed in six texture tile and crosses over three different mip grades.Can be for assisting in ensuring that by the texture tile of certain integer and the mip grade intercepting particular figure of certain integer, data texturing can save as the array of 2D (two dimension) mip pinup picture.In addition, data texturing can be put in order to according to the mip grade texture tile being grouped in together and being stored.Therefore, all texture tile that are in a certain given mip grade can be stored in together, and all texture tile that are in next low mip grade also can be grouped and be stored in together.In this way, use the form storing texture sheet of " based on texture tile ".Though three dimensions (x, y, z) go up included texture tile and the number of the mip grade of being crossed over for arbitrarily, be generally 2 certain powers (power) of tieing up through the volume textures of mip mapping.As an example, volume textures figure may be 2048 * 2048 * 2048 or 211 * 211 * 211 pixels.At least one benefit of some embodiment described herein is that data texturing can be subjected to preferable management and storage according to the above characteristic of discussing.
Now referring to Fig. 1, it illustrates the simplification calcspar of computer system 100.Computer system 100 comprises CPU 102, system storage 104 and graphic system 110.CPU 102 can carry out various functions, comprises determining to produce the information (such as the observation point position) of graphic presentation.System storage 104 stores various data, comprises the graphic display data such as data texturing 106.Based on CPU 102 determined information and in system storage 104 stored data, graphic system 110 produces and is used for display device 130 video data of (such as, monitor).Texture is used for object is added texture.Graphic system 110 is reproduced the texture tile of 3D object, and texture tile is got up to form object through " piling up " basically.In case set up the 3D texture, just texture is added into object to form image, make object be able to veining whereby.
CPU 102 files a request to graphic system 110 via system interface 108, comprises the also request of display graphics information of handling.Figure request from CPU 102 receives and offers front end (front end) processor 112 by graphic system 110, and front-end processor 112 produces the pixel stream that contains pixel coordinate.
The information about pixel coordinate that front-end processor 112 produces provides to texture filter 118 via data texturing administrative unit 114 and texture quick access to memory system 116.Data texturing administrative unit 114 is from front-end processor 112 reception information, and organizes data data being sent to texture quick access to memory system 116 before storing.
Texture filter 118 is subsequently by carrying out (for example) bilinear filtering, Trilinear Filtering or its data texturing that makes up filtering information and produce each pixel.Except that known texture filter element (such as linear interpolation and totalizer), texture filter 118 also comprises that programmable table filtrator (table filter) is to provide the particular filter operation in conjunction with other texture filter elements.Data texturing is the component that is sent to the final color data of frame buffer 120, and it is used for producing show image on display device 130.
Texture quick access to memory system 116 can comprise a plurality of memory caches, comprises (for example) grade 1 (L1) memory cache and grade 2 (L2) memory cache.Texture information is stored with each texel, and texel is used to be defined in the color data that the pixel coordinate place shows during graphics process.Data texturing flow to data texturing administrative unit 114 from system storage 104, and flow to texture quick access to memory system 116 subsequently, flow to texture filter 118 again.Should notice that for some embodiment data texturing administrative unit 114 can be incorporated in the texture quick access to memory system 116.
Now referring to Fig. 2, it illustrates some primary element of the data texturing administrative unit in computer graphics system.Should note having omitted for describing non-essential some element of data texturing administrative unit for concise and to the point purpose.Computer graphics system 210 comprises that data are compressed and reorganization before being forwarded to texture quick access to memory system 116 in order to receive the data texturing administrative unit 212 of data texturing 106.For some embodiment, data texturing administrative unit 212 comprises data texturing formatter 218, calculation of parameter logic module 220 and address calculation logic module 214.
Briefly referring to Fig. 3, it is the calcspar of the L2 memory cache organized formats of an embodiment.As previously discussed, texture quick access to memory system 116 can comprise a plurality of memory caches, comprises (for example) L1 memory cache and L2 memory cache.L2 memory cache 310 can comprise a plurality of L2 pages or leaves 315, and each page or leaf 315 can be divided into a plurality of L2 data lines 320, and each L2 data line 320 is further divided into even number block 340 and odd number block 330.Even number block 340 is used to handle the data texturing from even number pipeline or fast line taking, and odd number block 330 is used to handle the data texturing from odd number pipeline or fast line taking.In in odd number block 330, even number block 340 each, L2 is divided into thesaurus (bank) 350 again.Although each block that is disclosed as comprises two thesauruss, it will be understood by a person skilled in the art that memory cache can comprise more or less thesaurus.Although the L2 data line 320 shown in should noting comprises 2 blocks, 4 thesauruss and 8 pages or leaves, it will be understood by a person skilled in the art that with given example to have the memory cache of block, thesaurus, page or leaf and passage of different frameworks still in the category of this disclosure.In addition, L2 memory cache 310 can comprise a plurality of L2 data lines 320, comprises (for example) 64,128,256 or 512.In addition, each L2 data line 320 can have the width of variation, comprises the width of (for example) 128,256,512,1024 or 2048 positions.
Now referring to Fig. 4, it is that the texture of 32BPP (position/pixel) of an embodiment is as brick (hereinafter to be referred as the picture brick).Each page or leaf 360 among Fig. 4 further is divided into a plurality of picture bricks.With example explanation, each of showing among Fig. 4 is 16kB as brick 420, each further is divided into a plurality of passages again as brick 420.In the example of being showed, comprise 8 * 8 arrangement of passages as brick 420, totally 64 passages are numbered Ch 0 to Ch 63.At last, each passage 430 further is divided into each texel again.In the example of being showed, each passage 430 comprises that 8 * 8 texel of 64 texel altogether arranges.For the disclosed embodiment of this paper, the texture tile in the texture maps data is stored in the picture brick 420.
Referring again to Fig. 2, data texturing formatter 218 receives data texturing 106 and comes tissue texture to help that data are captured more efficient methods in the future.The texture tile that data texturing formatter 218 is arranged in the data texturing is grouped in together so that be in the texture tile of identical mip grade.Texture tile is arranged according to cumulative mip grade (that is, level of resolution decrescence).With the method, texture tile is arranged according to the form of " based on texture tile ".In addition, in this way with the texture tile " extruding " of data texturing or be compressed in the picture brick, so that do not occupy each as brick and stay untapped storage space less than each texture tile as the brick size.Therefore, if all texture tile of a given mip grade can hold to single picture brick, then only be used for storing all texture tile of compressed this mip grade as brick with one.
As if in order to texture tile being main form reorganization data texturing and it is compressed together, just can determine and the interior relevant parameter of each texture tile of each mip grade by calculation of parameter logic module 220.These parameters are used for determining the address of each texture tile in the data texturing that reorganization is arranged after a while, so that information can capture from the texture quick access to memory in the future.Each of 220 pairs of following parameters of all mip rating calculation of calculation of parameter logic module: all texture tile sizes, texture width, texture height, texture tile index number (index, N), x of first texture tile (that is, texture tile 0) and y skew and x value of striding (stride value).The value of all texture tile sizes is for storing the required number as brick of all texture tile with same detail grade.All texture tile in a certain given mip grade can be " squeezed. " or be compressed under the situation of single picture brick, and all texture tile sizes values are set at zero so that indicate this kind configuration.In case after the value of all parameters is calculated and finished, just will be worth to pass and send to address calculation logic module 214.Address calculation logic module 214 these values of reception and calculating comprise the address of all texture tile of data texturing, so that these data can extracted from texture quick access to memory system 116 in the future.
Address calculation logic module 214 is calculated following parameter: (x, y) the required total number as brick of all texture tile in coordinate and the storing texture diagram data of each texture tile of the x of residue texture tile and y skew, each mip grade.In case reset all data texturings and determined new address information, just prepared the storing texture data.New (x, y) coordinate and can be passed the texture quick access to memory system 116 that send to each mip rank correlation as the total number of brick.Data texturing administrative unit 114 is coupled to texture quick access to memory system 116.Should be appreciated that it is main form compression and tissue that the data texturing that is stored in the texture quick access to memory now needs in order to texture tile, so that reduce the access time and finally reduce memory latency.
In addition, because the effective storage of data texturing in storer, the required amount of computational resources of acquisition data is reduced.Also should be appreciated that because texture tile is aimed at suitable storage address, so the required address calculation logic module of acquisition data is simplified.Finally, the present invention discloses a kind of substituted volume texture mapping form, and it can use by the identical parameters that is used for the volume textures pinup picture well known by persons skilled in the art and be implemented.The form of this alternative texture mapping form is based on based on the form of texture tile.
Fig. 5 describes to be used to carry out the process flow diagram based on the embodiment of the compression method of texture tile of texture as the brick data.In following steps, can determine various parameters, it is the address of each texture tile of piecing the storage of (tiling) form together of master in order to texture tile that described parameter is used to calculate according to some embodiment subsequently.With the method storing texture sheet effectively, so that more efficient data access is provided.The big I of maximum volume texture is set at size 2k * 2k * 2k among some embodiment.For some embodiment, can be set at a predetermined number (such as 12) by maximum number and further simplify address computation the mip grade.For following parameter is to come calculating parameter at each mip grade.For the purpose of the employed nomenclature of this paper, index number N is the number that is used to refer to texture tile.In addition, index number d is used to refer to the mip grade.As limiting examples, Slice[0] [d] be meant the texture tile [0] that is in mip grade d.
As the width of brick and highly be to measure, and measure resolution according to BPP (bit perpixel, the position of every pixel) with pixel.For the purpose of the employed nomenclature of this paper, term BPP can use interchangeably with term BPE (bit per element, the position of every element).Each BPP value will have corresponding picture brick width and picture brick height.As limiting examples, 32 BPP value (position/pixel) is corresponding to the picture brick width (TileWidth) of 64 pixels and the picture brick height (TileHeight) of 64 pixels.Following table 1 explanation is for the difference of various BPP values as the brick width and highly:
Table 1 is for the TileWidth and the TileHeight value of various BPE values
BPE TileWidth eTW TileHeight eTH
128 32 5 32 5
64 64 6 32 5
32 64 6 64 6
16 128 7 64 6
8 128 7 128 7
4 256 8 128 7
1 512 9 256 8
Parameter eTW in the table 1 is corresponding to the required figure place of expression TileWidth.For example, need 5 to store TileWidth value 32.Equally, parameter eTH is corresponding to the required figure place of expression TileHeight.As following further argumentation, parameter eTW and eTH are used for bitwise operation (bit-wise operation).Should note the disclosed embodiment for this paper, the BPE value will be for specific.Based on this value, just know corresponding picture brick width and height.
Method starts from step 510, according to the mip grade texture tile in the texture maps is divided into groups.Then, in step 520, a plurality of texture tile are arranged in the same picture brick according to mode flags.In step 530, at the parameter of each mip rating calculation: all texture tile sizes (to represent), texture width, texture height and texture tile index number as the brick number about each texture tile.The value of texture tile size is the size of the size of all texture tile of null representation less than the picture brick.In the case,, make texture tile not occupy whole picture brick individually, and also do not stay untapped storage space, so that this is treated to is preferable as the storage of brick data texturing further " extruding " or be compressed in the single picture brick.If the summation of all texture tile of a certain mip grade greater than a picture brick, is then aimed at they's texture tile with the picture brick, and calculate the number that stores the required picture brick of these texture tile.Otherwise, if the summation of determining all texture tile is less than a picture brick, then texture width and height value are aimed at two exponential (power), and the value of all texture tile sizes is set at zero, with indication a plurality of texture tile can be stored or " extruding " in single picture brick.Above parameter can be calculated at each mip grade, and the number of mip grade is with the size of apparent volume texture mapping and decide.As limiting examples, suppose the volume textures size is set at the size of 2k * 2k * 2k, then can be at d=0 to 11, totally 12 mip grades are calculated parameter described above.
Calculate following parameter: slice[0 subsequently] x skew, the slice[0 of (that is, first texture tile of each mip grade)] y skew and the x value of striding.Should notice the value of these parameters will be decided on which kind of pattern of selection.In the embodiment of Fig. 5, two kinds of main patterns can be used for carrying out the storage based on texture tile of texture as the brick data, as indicated by mode flags.In first pattern (that is, pattern=0), first texture tile of each mip grade d (that is, slice[0]) do not aim at zero.Anticipate promptly the slice[0 of each mip grade] do not aim at the leftmost border as brick of storing texture sheet.In second pattern (that is, pattern=1), first texture tile of each mip grade d (that is, slice[0]) aim at zero.Anticipate promptly the slice[0 of each mip grade] aim at the leftmost border as brick of storing texture sheet.Referring to Fig. 6 A and 6B, its explanation is used for two kinds of patterns of the embodiment of Fig. 5 briefly.In Fig. 6 A, show, do not aim at the leftmost border of picture brick 610 as first texture tile of each mip grade in the brick bat 610 (that is, slice[0]).This situation is corresponding to pattern 0.On the contrary, Fig. 6 B first texture tile of showing each mip grade is aimed at the leftmost border of picture brick 620.This situation is corresponding to pattern 1.Should be appreciated that the number of texture tile that the visual representation object is required and mip grade and use more or less texture tile.
Referring again to Fig. 5, the x value of striding is to look what pattern (pattern 0 or pattern 1) to be currently used for texture calculating based on the storage of texture tile as the brick data.If utilize pattern 0, the value of using x skew (pass through XoffsetMipSlice[0] [d] expression) and calculating x and stride (by following XStrideMip[d] expression) as brick width, eTW based on following relational expression then:
XStrideMip[d]=(1<<eTW)-XOffsetMipSlice[0] [d]; Pattern 0
Operator "<<" is represented shift left operation by turn.If utilize pattern 1 (that is, the slice[0 of each mip grade wherein] aim at), then be worth XStrideMip[d with the leftmost border of picture brick] only equal to look like the value (seeing in the above table 1) of brick width (TileWidth).
Parameter X OffsetMipSlice[0] skew of first texture tile (that is slice[0]) on directions X of a certain mip grade d of [d] expression.In addition, value YOffsetMipSlice[0] slice[0 of a certain mip grade d of [d] expression] skew on the Y direction.Using the slice[0 of each mip grade] under the situation of (first texture tile) pattern 1 of aiming at the leftmost border of pixel brick, the value that x is offset is set to zero; Otherwise, use previous x value of striding of calculating to calculate the value of x skew.In addition, if the value of x skew is not an exponential texture pixel of two, then value is rounded to exponential value near two.For the value of x skew, calculate XOffsetMipSlice[0 based on following relational expression subsequently] [d]:
For pattern 1, XOffsetMipSlice[0] [d]=0
For pattern 0, XOffsetMipSlice[0] [d]=
XOffsetMipS lice[0][d]-1+(N[d-1]<<ew[d-1])&((1<<eXStrideMip[d]-1)-1)
Also consider that alignment pattern is that pattern 0 or pattern 1 are come calculated value YOffsetMipSlice[d].If utilize pattern 1, then come determined value YOffsetMipSlice[d by following relational expression]:
For pattern 1, YOffsetMipSlice[0] [d]=
YOffsetMipSlice[0][d-1]+(((N[d-1]<<ew[d-1])+(1<<eTW)-1)>>eTW)<<eh[d-1]
