  • Patent number: 11955169
    Abstract: A multi-port memory is provided that supports collision between a read port and a write port to the same multi-port bitcell. A sense amplifier reads a data bit from a multi-port bitcell when a write port to the multi-port bitcell is addressed during a system clock signal. Should a read port to the multi-port bitcell be addressed during the same system clock signal, a multiplexer selects for an output bit from the sense amplifier.

  • Publication number: 20230360305
    Abstract: In embodiments a graphics pipeline includes a logic that can assess whether to enable or disable tiled rendering for sets of graphics primitives. The logic applies one or more rules or heuristics to a set of graphics primitives associated with a frame, and determines whether to enable tiled rendering for that set of graphics primitives if the one or more rules or heuristics are satisfied. Otherwise, the logic determines to disable tiled rendering for that set of graphics primitives. As further graphics primitives are received for the frame, the logic may make additional decisions as to whether or not to render the further graphics primitives using tiled rendering.

  • Patent number: 11631215
    Abstract: The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatus for graphics processing. The present disclosure can calculate a center-edge distance of a first pixel, the center-edge distance of the first pixel equal to a distance from a first pixel center to one or more edges of a first primitive. Additionally, the present disclosure can store the center-edge distance of the first pixel when the first primitive is visible in a scene. The present disclosure can also determine an amount of overlap between the first pixel and the first primitive. Further, the present disclosure can blend a color of the first pixel with a color of a second pixel based on at least one of the center-edge distance of the first pixel or the amount of overlap between the first pixel and the first primitive.
