Abstract
A method and apparatus for low cost set mapping in, for example, a computer graphics processor or communications device efficiently maps elements of one set into another set. When used in conjunction with a graphical display system the low cost set mapping logic enables a memory controller to efficiently communicate with a plurality of memory devices based upon a hierarchical computation scheme. The method and apparatus provide a pseudo-optimal mapping solution. By employing a pseudo-optimal mapping solution the low cost set mapping logic greatly reduces the computational resource required to perform the mapping operation.
