Texture Cache

The texture cache is a hot topic for optimization. Current ideas/subjects discussed from the mailing list include:

• Multi-level cache for uncompressed and compressed textures
• Fixed block size cache to store images of any size that is a power of 2
• Reformatted textures, being changed from jpeg2000 to TGA (with or without RLE), BMP, GIF, or downsampled
• Storage:
  • Filesystem
  • Database
  • Network
  • Memory mapped
• Quality of cached images
• System Requirements
  • Minimal
  • Optimal
  • Surveys
  • Core(s)
