Abstract: Embodiments described herein provide a technique to enable access to entries in a surface state or sampler state using 64-bit virtual addresses. One embodiment provides a graphics core that includes memory access circuitry configured to facilitate access to the memory by functional units of the graphics core. The memory access circuitry is configured to receive a message to access an entry in a surface state or a sampler state associated with a parallel processing operation. The message specifies a base address for a surface state entry or sampler state entry. The circuitry can add the base address and the offset to determine a 64-bit virtual address for the entry in the surface state entry or the sampler state and submit a memory access request to the memory to access the entry of the surface state or sampler state.

Abstract: Examples described herein relate to a graphics processing apparatus that includes a memory device; and a central processing unit (CPU). In some examples, the CPU is configured to: execute a producer to issue graphics command application program interfaces (APIs); execute a driver to translate graphics command APIs into executable instructions; and based on an idle state of the producer, execute a command translation code segment of the producer to translate graphics command APIs into executable instructions. In some examples, the execution unit is coupled to the memory device, the execution unit to execute one or more of the executable instructions. In some examples, the producer includes multiple portions such as application code, graphics pipeline runtime code, and command translation code segment.

Abstract: A device for the removal of a liner bolt from a SAG mill including a support member for affixing to an exterior surface of the SAG mill and a ram affixed to the support member and having an end movable relative to the support member. The end serves for compressive abutment with a surface of a liner bolt. The support member includes a first arm, a second arm, and a strut connected to the first and second arms. The ram is affixed to the strut. A first bolt receptacle is formed on an end of the first arm and a second bolt receptacle is formed on an end of the second arm. The ram includes a cylindrical member affixed to and extending downwardly from the support member, a circular frame affixed to the support member and rigidly affixed to the cylindrical member, and a hydraulic ram having a body received within the cylindrical member.
