Abstract: Systems and methods are disclosed herein for providing improved cache structures and methods that are optimally sized to support a predetermined range of late stage adjustments and in which image data is intelligently read out of DRAM and cached in such a way as to eliminate re-fetching of input image data from DRAM and minimize DRAM bandwidth and power. The systems and methods can also be adapted to work with compressed image data and multiple LSR processing engines.

Abstract: Optimizations are provided for late stage reprojection processing for a multi-layered scene. A multi-layered scene is generated. Late stage reprojection processing is applied to a first layer and different late stage reprojection processing is applied to a second layer. The late stage reprojection processing that is applied to the second layer includes one or more transformations that are applied to the second layer. After the late stage reprojection processing on the various layers is complete, a unified layer is created by compositing the layers together. Then, the render the unified layer is rendered.

Abstract: Optimizations are provided for late stage reprojection processing for a multi-layered scene. A scene is generated, which is based on a predicted pose of a portion of a computer system. A sub-region is identified within one of the layers and is isolated from the other regions in the scene. Thereafter, late stage reprojection processing is applied to that sub-region selectively/differently than other regions in the scene that do not undergo the same late state reprojection processing.

Abstract: Systems and methods for multistage post-rendering image transformation are provided. The system may include a transform generation module arranged to dynamically generate an image transformation. The system may include a transform data generation module arranged to generate first and second transformation data by applying the generated image transformation for first and second sampling positions and storing the transformation data in a memory. The system may include a first image transformation stage that selects the first and second transformation data for a destination image position and calculates an estimated source image position based on the selected first and second transformation data.

Abstract: Techniques for post-rendering image transformation including outputting an image frame including a plurality of first pixels by sequentially generating and outputting multiple color component fields including a first color component field and a second color component field by applying one or more two-dimensional (2D) image transformations to at least one portion of the plurality of source pixels by first, second, and third image transformation pipelines, to generate transformed pixel color data for the first color component field and the second color component field.

Abstract: Techniques for controlling access to a memory are provided. The techniques may include receiving and storing output pixel data in a buffer, providing the stored output pixel data to a display controller, receiving stored output pixel data from the buffer at the display controller, switching to a second operating mode state based at least on an amount of available data in the buffer being less than or equal to a threshold, identifying a portion of the image data stored in a memory device for use in generating output pixel data for an updated image, and, in response to operating in the second operating mode, generating the output pixel data without issuing a memory read command via an interconnect to retrieve the portion of the initial image while operating in the second operating mode, and providing the output pixel data to the buffer.

Abstract: Systems and methods for controlling access to a memory are provided. The system may include a buffer to store output data generated by a processing module, and provide the output data to a real-time module, and a buffer monitoring circuit to output an underflow approaching state indication in response to an amount of available data in the buffer being less than or equal to a threshold.
