Abstract

A technique for graphics processing which processes an image in units of blocks is disclosed. A graphics processing device has a buffer, an indicator register and an arithmetic logic unit (ALU). The buffer is provided to buffer a plurality of source blocks. The indicator register includes at least one instruction pointer. The ALU uses the instruction pointer to read source pixels in a first source block of the plurality of source blocks and adjacent source pixels in at least an adjacent source block with respect to the first source block from the buffer, to generate a first target block.
