    Abstract: A method and corresponding apparatus are configured to generate a mipmap are configured to allocate a mipmap status register of a mipmap level generated with respect to a texture, receive a request for the texture, and calculate a mipmap level with respect to the texture. The method and corresponding apparatus are also configured to determine whether a mipmap of the calculated mipmap level exists using the mipmap status register and outputting a result indicative thereof, and determine whether to generate the mipmap of the mipmap level based on the result.

    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.

    Abstract: A rendering method includes generating mipmap images of some levels with respect to texture and storing the generated mipmap images in a storage, receiving a request for the texture, calculating a level of a mipmap requested for the texture, determining whether the stored mipmap images include the mipmap image of the calculated level, and performing rendering by using at least one of the stored mipmap images, based on a result of the determining.
