Non-linear processing of two-dimensional data

A device for non-linear graphics processing comprising:

• a memory;
• and
• at least one processor configured to:
• generate image data for an image;
• fetch, for each two-dimensional matrix of a plurality of two-dimensional matrices of units of the image, for storage at the memory, a respective portion of the image data, wherein, to fetch, for each two-dimensional matrix of the plurality of two-dimensional matrices of units, the respective portion of the image data, the at least one processor is configured to:
• fetch a first portion of the image data for processing units of a first two-dimensional matrix of the plurality of two-dimensional matrices;
• and
• fetch, after fetching the first portion of image data, a second portion of the image data for processing units of a second two-dimensional matrix of the plurality of two-dimensional matrices;
• and
• process each two-dimensional matrix of the plurality of two-dimensional matrices based on the respective portion of the image data to generate pixel data for the image, wherein, to process each two-dimensional matrix of the plurality of two-dimensional matrices, the at least one processor is configured to:
• process a plurality of units arranged in the first two-dimensional matrix based on the first portion of the image data, wherein the first two-dimensional matrix includes a plurality of units arranged in a first row of the image and a plurality of units arranged in a second row of the image that is adjacent to the first row of the image;
• and
• process, after processing the plurality of units arranged in the first two-dimensional matrix, a plurality of units arranged in the second two-dimensional matrix based on the second portion of the image data, wherein the second two-dimensional matrix includes one or more units arranged in the first row of the image and one or more units arranged in the second row of the image, wherein, to process the plurality of units arranged in the second two-dimensional matrix, the at least one processor is configured to process one or more units arranged in the second two-dimensional matrix using the first portion of image data for processing units of the first two-dimensional matrix.

A non-transitory computer-readable storage medium storing instructions that, when executed, cause at least one processor to:

• generate image data for an image;
• fetch, for each two-dimensional matrix of a plurality of two-dimensional matrices of units of the image, a respective portion of the image data, wherein, to fetch, for each two-dimensional matrix of the plurality of two-dimensional matrices of units, the respective portion of the image data, the instructions further cause the at least one processor to:
• fetch a first portion of the image data for processing units of a first two-dimensional matrix of the plurality of two-dimensional matrices;
• and
• fetch, after fetching the first portion of image data, a second portion of the image data for processing units of a second two-dimensional matrix of the plurality of two-dimensional matrices;
• and
• process each two-dimensional matrix of the plurality of two-dimensional matrices based on the respective portion of the image data to generate pixel data for the image, wherein, to process each two-dimensional matrix of the plurality of two-dimensional matrices, the instructions further cause the at least one processor to:
• process a plurality of units arranged in the first two-dimensional matrix based on the first portion of the image data, wherein the first two-dimensional matrix includes a plurality of units arranged in a first row of the image and a plurality of units arranged in a second row of the image that is adjacent to the first row of the image;
• and
• process, after processing the plurality of units arranged in the first two-dimensional matrix, a plurality of units arranged in the second two-dimensional matrix based on the second portion of the image data, wherein the second two-dimensional matrix includes one or more units arranged in the first row of the image and one or more units arranged in the second row of the image, wherein, to process the plurality of units arranged in the second two-dimensional matrix, the instructions further cause the at least one processor to process one or more units arranged in the second two-dimensional matrix using the first portion of image data for processing units of the first two-dimensional matrix.
