Abstract: Methods and apparatus for image processing of spherical content via hardware acceleration components. In one embodiment, an EAC image is subdivided into facets via existing software addressing and written into the memory buffers (normally used for rectilinear cubemaps) in a graphics processing unit (GPU). The EAC facets may be translated, rotated, and/or mirrored so as to align with the expected three-dimensional (3D) coordinate space. The GPU may use existing hardware accelerator logic, parallelization, and/or addressing logic to greatly improve 3D image processing effects (such as a multi-band blend using Gaussian blurs.

Abstract: A graphics processing unit having multiple groups of processor cores for rendering graphics data for allocated tiles and outputting the processed data to regions of a memory resource. Scheduling logic allocates sets of tiles to the groups of processor cores to perform a first render, and at a time when at least one of the groups has not completed processing its allocated sets of one or more tiles as part of the first render, allocates at least one set of tiles for a second render to one of the other groups of processor cores for processing. Progress indication logic indicates progress of the first render, indicating regions of the memory resource for which processing for the first render has been completed. Progress check logic checks the progress indication in response to a request for access to a region of the memory resource as part of the second render and enables access that region of the resource in response to an indication that processing for the first render has been completed for that region.

In response to the signal, a next data transfer instruction is obtained that instructs reading a bit-based image block of an image from a memory.

Then, the write buffer pointer is toggled to point to another of the pair of alternate buffers and the process repeats. The bit-based image blocks alternately stored in the buffers are later retrieved and displayed on the LED display.
