Abstract: Embodiments relate to an integrated circuit of an electronic device that coordinates activities with another integrated circuit of the electronic device. The integrated circuit includes an interface circuit and a processor circuit. The interface circuit communicates over a multi-drop bus connected to multiple electronic components. The processor circuit receives an authorization request from the integrated circuit via the interface circuit and the multi-drop bus.

In response to receiving the authorization request, the processor circuit determines whether the other integrated circuit is authorized to execute the activity.

Abstract: Data items such as files or database records associated with particular applications (such as messaging applications and other applications) can be stored in one or more remote locations, such as a cloud storage system, and synchronized with other devices. The remote storage can be configured such that each application executing on a client device can only view data items stored at the remote location to which the application has permission to access. An access manager on each client device enforces application specific access policies. Storage at the remote location can be secured for each application associated with a user or user account, for example, using isolated containers. The cloud storage of data can be anonymized and anonymous group data can be stored in the cloud storage.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for performing scatter and gather direct memory access (DMA) streaming through a circular buffer are described. A system includes a circular buffer, producer DMA engine, and consumer DMA engine.

After the consumer DMA engine reads or skips over the given data chunk of the first frame from the buffer, the consumer DMA engine sends an updated read pointer to the producer DMA engine indicating that the data credit has been consumed and that space has been freed up in the buffer to be reused by the producer DMA engine.

Presence-in-vehicle state information and/or other device context may also be obtained from nearby devices by comparing local and received motion context.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to testing whether a ray intersects a graphics primitive, e.g., for ray tracing. In some embodiments, intersection circuitry performs a reduced-precision conservative intersection test and shader circuitry performs an original-precision intersection test if the intersection circuitry indicates a hit. The intersection circuitry may quantize the ray (and may quantize the primitive or may receive a quantized representation of the primitive) and generates a potential error value based on propagation of quantization error for the primitive and ray. The intersection circuitry then determines an intersection result for the reduced-precision test based on the quantized primitive data and the potential error. In various embodiments, disclosed techniques may improve performance or reduce power consumption by reducing the number of original-precision intersection tests that do not result in hits.
