Hierarchical storage management (HSM), also known as tiered storage, [1] is a data storage and data management technique that automatically moves data between high-cost and low-cost storage media. HSM systems exist because high-speed storage devices, such as solid-state drive arrays, are more expensive (per byte stored) than slower devices ...

An example of anisotropic mipmap image storage: the principal image on the top left is accompanied by filtered, linearly transformed copies of reduced size. Isotropic mipmap of the same image. Anisotropic filtering enhances texture sharpness, counteracting the blur introduced by mipmapping, a common anti-aliasing technique.
