  • Patent number: 10984758
    Abstract: A display controller configured to process first data representative of a first portion of an input frame to process the first portion of the input frame using an image enhancement scheme, thereby generating first enhanced data. The first enhanced data is sent to a display interface for sending to a display device. Subsequently, further data is sent to the display interface for sending to the display device. The further data is associated with at least one further portion of the input frame, each of which is different from the first portion of the input frame. The display controller is further configured to send instructions to the display interface for sending to the display device to instruct the display device to display an output frame comprising a first portion represented by the first enhanced data and at least one further portion represented by the further data.

  • Patent number: 10977184
    Abstract: A method for managing memory access for implementing at least one layer of a convolutional neural network is provided. The method comprises predicting an access procedure in relation to a portion of memory based on a characteristic of the convolutional neural network. In response to the prediction, the method comprises performing an operation to obtain and store a memory address translation, corresponding to the portion of memory, in storage in advance of the predicted access procedure. An apparatus is provided comprising at least one processor and storage. The apparatus is configured to predict an access procedure in relation to a portion of memory which is external to the processor. In response to the prediction, the apparatus is configured to obtain and store a memory address translation corresponding to the portion of memory in storage in advance of the predicted access procedure.
