Abstract

An operating method of a graphics processing unit includes: receiving a first read request for texels, detecting whether decompression data associated with each of the texels are present in a first cache, decompressing part of a first texture compression block associated with a first texel among the texels when a result of the detecting indicates decompression data for the first texel is not present in the first cache, to generate first decompression data, and generating first texture data corresponding to the first read request, based on the first decompression data and second decompression present in the first cache.
