Patent number: 12014700Abstract: 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: December 28, 2022Date of Patent: June 18, 2024Assignee: ATI TECHNOLOGIES ULCInventors: Syed Athar Hussain, Anthony W L Koo, David I.

Patent number: 11994996Abstract: Apparatuses, systems and methods for routing requests and responses targeting a shared resource. A queue in a communication fabric is located in a path between the requesters and a shared resource.

Patent number: 11989918Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for converting pixel data to a custom swizzle mode are disclosed. A graphics engine receives data in a pre-defined swizzle mode. The graphics engine determines a custom swizzle mode for the data that has directionality aligned to the data itself to further optimize deltas that are used for compressing the data. The graphics engine groups incoming data into group of two neighboring pixels in both the horizontal and vertical directions. The graphics engine scores horizontal and vertical groupings against each other to make a first swizzle mode bit selection. Then the graphics engine increases the grouping of pixels to include additional pixels and scores the increased groupings against each other to make subsequent swizzle mode bit selections. The data is reswizzled into the custom swizzle mode and provided to a compressor to be compressed.Type: GrantFiled: December 23, 2020Date of Patent: May 21, 2024Assignees: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc., ATI Technologies ULCInventors: Nooruddin Ahmed, Anthony Chan, Christopher J.
