Patent number: 10949177Abstract: A method and system for a command processor for efficient processing of a program multi-processor core system with a CPU and GPU. The multi-core system includes a general purpose CPU executing commands in a CPU programming language and a graphic processing unit (GPU) executing commands in a GPU programming language. A command processor is coupled to the CPU and CPU. The command processor sequences jobs from a program for processing by the CPU or the GPU. The command processor creates commands from the jobs in a state free command format. The command processor generates a sequence of commands for execution by either the CPU or the GPU in the command format. A compiler running a meta language converts program data for the commands into a first format readable by the CPU programming language and a second format readable by the GPU programming language.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2018Date of Patent: March 16, 2021Assignee: Oxide Interactive, LLCInventor: Daniel K.

Patent number: 10198856Abstract: A method and system for rendering a graphic object is disclosed. The method includes selecting a set of points of a graphic object for shading. At least one shading parameter is determined for application to the selected set of points of the graphic object. A shading parameter image is precalculated based on the determined at least one shading parameter. The shading parameter image is stored in a memory. The selected points are shaded using the shading parameter image to produce a shaded graphic object image via a graphic processor. The shaded graphic object image is rasterized into a frame image.Type: GrantFiled: November 11, 2013Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: Oxide Interactive, LLCInventors: Daniel Kurt Baker, Timothy James Kipp

Patent number: 10198788Abstract: A method and system for rendering a graphic object that decouples shading from rasterization is disclosed. The method includes selecting a set of points of a graphic object for shading. At least one shading parameter is determined for application to the selected set of points of the graphic object. The selected points are shaded using the shading parameter image to produce a shaded graphic object image via a graphic processor at a first frequency relative to the frame rate. The shaded graphic object image is rasterized into a frame image in parallel at a second frequency relative to the frame rate. Multiple processors may be used for the shading and rasterization.Type: GrantFiled: May 11, 2015Date of Patent: February 5, 2019Assignee: OXIDE INTERACTIVE LLCInventors: Daniel Kurt Baker, Timothy James Kipp

Patent number: 10095627Abstract: A method and system for efficiently executing a delegate of a program by a processor coupled to an external memory. A payload including state data or command data is bound with a program delegate. The payload is mapped with the delegate via the payload identifier. The payload is pushed to a repository buffer in the external memory. The payload is flushed by reading the payload identifier and loading the payload from the repository buffer. The delegate is executed using the loaded payload.Type: GrantFiled: September 20, 2017Date of Patent: October 9, 2018Assignee: Oxide Interactive, LLCInventor: Timothy James Kipp

Patent number: 9250953Abstract: A method for scheduling tasks from a program executed by a multi-processor core system is disclosed. The method includes a scheduler that groups a plurality of tasks, each having an assigned priority, by priority in a task group. The task group is assembled with other task groups having identical priorities in a task group queue. A hierarchy of task group queues is established based on priority levels of the assigned tasks. Task groups are assigned to one of a plurality of worker threads based on the hierarchy of task group queues. Each of the worker threads is associated with a processor in the multi-processor system. The tasks of the task groups are executed via the worker threads according to the order in the hierarchy.Type: GrantFiled: November 12, 2013Date of Patent: February 2, 2016Assignee: Oxide Interactive LLCInventor: Timothy James Kipp
