Abstract
An apparatus and method of reading texture data for texture mapping. Each of a plurality of blocks included in a cache memory may have any one of an even numbered index or odd numbered index. In this instance, the cache memory may be embodied with an odd numbered index cache memory including odd numbered index blocks and an even numbered index cache memory including even numbered index blocks. Also, address indexes of requested texture data may be analyzed to appropriately access to at least one of the odd numbered index cache memory and even numbered index cache memory, thereby improving an accessing speed.
