Abstract: A machine readable storage media containing executable program instructions which when executed cause a digital processing system to set a plurality of operands and operators. A plurality of texture maps are sent to a processor for texture compositing. Operands are selected for a texture operation. A first logic is used wherein if the circulation of blend stages is equal to a number of blend stages, then a color saturation is performed, and a second logic that if the circulation number of blend stages does not equal the number of blend stages then at least one operand is selected for another texture compositing operation.

Abstract: Provided are a method and system for loading test data into execution units in a graphics card to test the execution units. Test instructions are loaded into a cache in a graphics module comprising multiple execution units coupled to the cache on a bus during a design test mode. The cache instructions are concurrently transferred to an instruction queue of each execution unit to concurrently load the cache instructions into the instruction queues of the execution units. The execution units concurrently execute the cache instructions to fetch test instructions from the cache to load into memories of the execution units and execute during the design test mode.

Abstract: A method and circuit are provided for color space conversion of Y (luminance) and UV (chrominance) components from a planar YUV 4:2:0 format to an interleaved, or packed YUV 4:2:2 format, and from an interleaved, or packed YUV 4:2:2 format to a planar YUV 4:2:0 format. The method for both conversions includes reading source data, interpolating the sampled YUV component values, and performing a pass to thereby write the converted YUV component values in three passes, one pass for all values of the respective YUV components.

Abstract: A display apparatus is suitable for displaying a photograph (4) in such a way as to confer a 3-D effect. The apparatus optionally using a transparent carrier (7) locates the photographs (4) as a concavely curved image using edgewise compressing channels (5). The 3-D effect is enhanced by the convex framing (2) of the photograph (4).
