Patent number: 11551632Abstract: A graphics processing unit (GPU) of a processing system transmits pixel data for a frame to a display in a compressed burst, so that the pixel data is communicated at a rate that is higher than the rate at which the display scans out the pixel data to refresh the frame at a display panel. By transmitting pixel data for the frame in a compressed burst, the GPU shortens the time spent transmitting the pixel data and extends the time before the next frame of pixel data is to be transmitted. During the extended time before the next frame of pixel data is to be transmitted, the GPU saves power by placing portions of the processing system in a reduced power mode.Type: GrantFiled: September 23, 2020Date of Patent: January 10, 2023Assignee: ATI TECHNOLOGIES ULCInventors: Syed Athar Hussain, Anthony W L Koo, David I.

Patent number: 11501467Abstract: A remote device utilizes ray tracing to compute a light field for a scene to be rendered, where the light field includes information about light reflected off surfaces within the scene. This light field is then compressed utilizing lossless or lossy compression and one or more video compression techniques that implement temporal reuse, such that only differences between the light field for the scene and a light field for a previous scene are compressed. The compressed light field data is then sent to a client device that decompresses the light field data and uses such data to obtain the light field for the scene at the client device. This light field is then used by the client device to compute global illumination for the scene. The global illumination may be used to accurately render the scene at the mobile device, resulting in a realistic scene that is presented by the mobile device.Type: GrantFiled: May 5, 2021Date of Patent: November 15, 2022Assignee: NVIDIA CORPORATIONInventors: Michael Stengel, Alexander Majercik, Ben Boudaoud, Morgan McGuire, Dawid Stanislaw Pajak
