Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for dynamic adjustment of a refresh rate of a display are described. The method includes determining a set of frames for display on the device, determining an average frame rate for the set of frames over a duration based on a respective frame rate associated with each frame of the set of frames, selecting a new refresh rate based on the average frame rate for the set of frames, and switching, based on selecting the new refresh rate, from a current refresh rate of the display to the new refresh rate by deactivating a first timing register of the device and activating a second timing register of the device.

Abstract: Arbitrary patterns of address locations of digital data can be efficiently read from a memory of a signal processor. For example, a first memory address generator receives a first memory command signal from a first communication register to retrieve a first set of data from memory according to a look up table of memory addresses. The first memory access generator reads the look up table of memory addresses, which contain a second set of memory commands and reroutes the second set of commands to a bypass register. In turn, the second set of memory commands stored at the bypass register are read by a second memory address generator which retrieves a second set of data from memory according to the second set of memory command signals read out of memory by the first memory address generator.

Abstract: Various embodiments of the invention relate to communicating data between a number of processing elements (PEs) of a signal processor, using a plurality of communication registers (CCRs). For instance, a plurality of the CCRs can be shared by and mapped to the address space of each PE, where each CCR couples a first of the PEs to every other one of the PEs. Moreover, each CCR can include a data payload field and a data valid field to indicate a target PE to read the data in the data payload field. Thus, data can be written to a selected CCR by a PE and stored in the selected CCR to be read by at least one target PE.

Abstract: Disclosed a processes and an apparatus which relates to an improved technique for sharing a computer resource.

Abstract: According to one embodiment, a computer system is disclosed. The computer system includes an image processor. The image processor includes an image signal processor having two or more processing elements. The processing elements concurrently process an array of pixel values via a plurality of image filter comparison operations.
