Abstract

A graphics processing system includes a cache system for transferring texture data stored in memory to a graphics processing unit for use by the graphics processing unit when generating a render output. The cache system includes a first cache operable to receive texture data from the memory system, and a second cache operable to receive texture data from the first cache and to provide texture data to the graphics processing unit for use when generating a render output, and a data processing unit intermediate the first cache and the second cache and operable to process data stored in the first cache and to store the processed data in the second cache.
