Abstract: One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for distributing graphics commands and atomic commands to a color processing unit (CROP) in an efficient manner. The interleaving mechanism determines, at each clock cycle, which graphics command(s) or atomic command(s) is transmitted to the CROP based on different factors. First, the interleaving mechanism ensures that atomic commands or graphics commands associated with a multi-transaction command stream are processed together. Second, the interleaving mechanism selects consecutive graphics commands for transmission to the CROP that optimize the use of different memory caches. Third, the interleaving mechanism prioritizes atomic commands over graphics commands. At each clock cycle, the graphics command(s) or the atomic command(s) selected by the interleaving mechanism are transmitted to the CROP for processing.

A workload for a plurality of multi-sample pixels is received and each thread in a parallel thread group is associated with a corresponding multi-sample pixel of the plurality of pixels. The workload is redistributed between the threads in the parallel thread group based on a characteristic of the workload and the workload is processed by the parallel thread group. In one embodiment, the characteristic is rasterized coverage information for the plurality of multi-sample pixels.

Abstract: An indirect interaction input device, such as but not limited to a touch sensor, can provide multiple points of input, such as two or more positions in a coordinate space where a user is touching the sensor. These multiple points are in turn mapped to multiple positions on an output device such as a display. The mapping can be relative or absolute. With a relative mapping, boundary conditions for single and multiple displays are applied and, if appropriate, remedial offsets are added to the input points to maintain a desired user interaction model.

Abstract: Some embodiments of the invention provide an image-editing process that non-uniformly adjusts at least one particular color attribute (e.g., saturation level) of pixels in an image.

In this manner, some embodiments provide a vibrancy process that non-uniformly adjusts saturation levels of an image in order to preserve saturation levels for skin tones appearing within the image.
