Abstract: An apparatus and method are described for coupling a front end core to an accelerator component (e.g., such as a graphics accelerator). For example, an apparatus is described comprising: an accelerator comprising one or more execution units (EUs) to execute a specified set of instructions; and a front end core comprising a translation lookaside buffer (TLB) communicatively coupled to the accelerator and providing memory access services to the accelerator, the memory access services including performing TLB lookup operations to map virtual to physical addresses on behalf of the accelerator and in response to the accelerator requiring access to a system memory.

Abstract: An apparatus is described having multiple cores, each core having: a) an accelerator; and, b) a general purpose CPU coupled to the accelerator. The general purpose CPU has functional unit logic circuitry to execute an instruction that returns an amount of storage space to store context information of the accelerator.

Abstract: In some embodiments a memory controller is disclosed that includes at least one command/address input buffer to receive commands and addresses. The addresses specify a memory bank and a location within the memory bank. An arbiter, coupled to the at least one command/address input buffer, merges commands and addresses from the at least one command/address input buffer and sorts the commands and addresses based on the addresses specified. A plurality of bank buffers, coupled to the arbiter and associated with memory banks, receive commands and addresses for their associated memory banks. A scheduler, coupled to the plurality of bank buffers, groups commands and addresses based on an examination of at least one command and address from the bank buffers. Other embodiments are otherwise disclosed herein.

Abstract: During high performance renormalization for video encoding, renormalization may involve detecting a leading number of ‘0’s in a range value of an input stream of symbols, a run of ‘1’s in an offset value of the input stream of symbols, and a run of ‘0’s following the run of ‘1’in the offset value. A bitstream may be outputted based on an iteration window for a number of renormalization iterations. The iteration window may comprise a bit range after the run of ‘1’s in the offset value, and the number of renormalization iterations may be based on the leading number of ‘0’s in the range value. A run of ‘1’s followed by one or more ‘0’s may be identified as a particular pattern.

Abstract: Various embodiments for high performance renormalization for video encoding are described. In one or more embodiments, renormalization may involve detecting a leading number of ‘0’s in a range value of an input stream of symbols, a run of ‘1’s in an offset value of the input stream of symbols, and a run of ‘0’s following the run of ‘1’ in the offset value. A bitstream may be outputted based on an iteration window for a number of renormalization iterations. The iteration window may comprise a bit range after the run of ‘1’s in the offset value, and the number of renormalization iterations may be based on the leading number of ‘0’s in the range value. In some embodiments, a run of ‘1’s followed by one or more ‘0’s may be identified as a particular pattern. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
