Abstract
A method includes receiving packed data corresponding to pixel components to be processed at a graphics pipeline. The method includes unpacking the packed data to generate floating point numbers that correspond to the pixel components. The method also includes routing each of the floating point numbers to a separate lane of the graphics pipeline. Each of the floating point numbers are to be processed by multiplier units of the graphics pipeline.
