  • Publication number: 20240168804
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to a processing resource for a graphics processing system for performing graphics processing for an application executing on a host processor of the graphics processing system according to a command stream, the command stream being generated by the host processor in response to an API call from the application, the processing resource comprising: a control circuit configured to execute commands from the command stream, wherein the command stream comprises one or more commands relating to a processing task and one or more commands relating to at least one state group associated with the processing task; at least one processing circuit configured to perform processing tasks; a shadow state storage module configured for use by the control circuit to store state information; and a processing state storage module configured for use by the processing circuit to store state information, wherein the control circuit is configured to determine one or more changed states within the at leas

  • Patent number: 11816777
    Abstract: There is provided a data processing system comprising a host processor and a processing resource operable to perform processing operations for applications executing on the host processor by executing commands within an appropriate command stream. The host processor is configured to generate a command stream layout indicating a sequence of commands for the command stream that is then provided to the processing resource. Some commands require sensor data. The processing resource is configured to process the sensor data into command stream data for inclusion into the command stream in order to populate the command stream for execution.

  • Publication number: 20230297428
    Abstract: There is provided a data processing system comprising a host processor and a processing resource operable to perform processing operations for applications executing on the host processor by executing commands within an appropriate command stream. The command stream is generated at least in part by the processing resource itself. The host processor is thus configured to generate a command stream layout indicating a sequence of commands for the command stream that is then provided to the processing resource together with suitable indicators of command stream generation work to cause the processing resource to populate a command stream corresponding to the command stream layout for execution.

  • Publication number: 20100265254
    Abstract: A filled shape is defined by edge data forming one or more boundaries thereof. Local shape data is generated from the edge data for each graphics region overlapped by the filled shape. The local shape data separately represents for each graphic region at least any edge of the filled shape within the graphics region and an overlap value indicative of a difference between a number of times the boundaries of the filled shape surround the region in a clockwise direction and the number of times the boundaries surround the region in a counter-clockwise direction. For each graphics region having local shape data, the local shape data is used to generate pixel values for pixels within that graphics region that are within the filled shape to be drawn.
