  • Patent number: 12141890
    Abstract: A disaggregated processor package can be configured to accept interchangeable chiplets. Interchangeability is enabled by specifying a standard physical interconnect for chiplets that can enable the chiplet to interface with a fabric or bridge interconnect. Chiplets from different IP designers can conform to the common interconnect, enabling such chiplets to be interchangeable during assembly. The fabric and bridge interconnects logic on the chiplet can then be configured to confirm with the actual interconnect layout of the on-board logic of the chiplet. Additionally, data from chiplets can be transmitted across an inter-chiplet fabric using encapsulation, such that the actual data being transferred is opaque to the fabric, further enable interchangeability of the individual chiplets. With such an interchangeable design, cache or DRAM memory can be inserted into memory chiplet slots, while compute or graphics chiplets with a higher or lower core count can be inserted into logic chiplet slots.

  • Patent number: 12136165
    Abstract: A method for enhanced forward rendering is disclosed which includes a depth pre-pass, light culling and a final shading. The depth pre-pass minimizes the cost of final shading by avoiding high pixel overdraw. The light culling stage calculates a list of light indices overlapping a pixel. The light indices are calculated on a per-tile basis, where the screen has been split into units of tiles. The final shading evaluates materials using information stored for each light. The forward rendering method may be executed on a processor, such as a single graphics processing unit (GPU) for example.

  • Patent number: 12067645
    Abstract: There are provided computing devices and methods, etc. to controllably transform an image of a face, including a high resolution image, to simulate continuous aging. Ethnicity-specific aging information and weak spatial supervision are used to guide the aging process defined through training a model comprising a GANs based generator. Aging maps present the ethnicity-specific aging information as skin sign scores or apparent age values. The scores are located in the map in association with a respective location of the skin sign zone of the face associated with the skin sign. Patch-based training, particularly in association with location information to differentiate similar patches from different parts of the face, is used to train on high resolution images while minimize resource usage.
