Virtualizing 3D Texture



• Hardware may limit maximum 3D texture size
• Can get arbitrary size by “bricking”
  • Segment texture data into 3D sub-blocks (bricks)
• Load texture memory with brick(s) needed by slice
  • Multiple bricks per slice? Clip slice to each brick
• Overlap bricks so linear filtering works
