  • Patent number: 8836517
    Abstract: A method and system are implemented for monitoring the thermal dissipation from a computer processing unit. The system comprises a temperature sensor, and a temperature controller. The temperature controller is configured to set a temperature observation window in a first temperature range, gradually narrow the observation window from the first temperature range after a monitored temperature of the processing unit has entered the observation window, and issue an alert signal when the monitored temperature exits the observation window.

  • Patent number: 8082421
    Abstract: A program instruction rearrangement method calculates the dependency depth of each instruction of a program based on dependency between instructions, based on register access order, and rearranging instructions based on the dependency depth. Additionally, the dependency between instructions can be utilized to locate and remove redundant instructions.

  • Patent number: 7742061
    Abstract: Method and related apparatus for image processing. When projecting a polygonal object in three-dimensional space onto a two-dimensional screen according to a viewing range, faces of the object which intersect boundaries of the viewing range are clipped to form clipped planes. Vertices of all of the clipped planes of the object are recorded in one vertex list according to a triangle-list primitive, so as to increase efficiency of the image processing.

  • Publication number: 20070200849
    Abstract: An apparatus of a graphic system is provided. The graphic system consists of a first graphic device and a second graphic device. The first graphic device has a clip and setup processor and a pixel shader. The clip and setup processor accesses and clips the graphic data. The pixel shader pixel shades the clipped graphic data. The second graphic device is included in the first graphic device besides the clip and setup processor and the pixel shader. The second graphic device has a first vertex shader to generate the previously mentioned graphic data. The first vertex shader performs coordinate transformation and lighting on the vertex data.
