摘要： A method for compressing framebuffer data is presented. The method includes determining a reduction ratio for framebuffer data in a tile including multiple samples. The reduction ratio determined is independent of the sampling mode, where the sampling mode is the number of samples within each pixel in the tile. The method further includes comparing a first portion of the framebuffer data for each of the multiple samples to determine an equality comparison result and also comparing a second portion of the framebuffer data for each one of the multiple samples to compute per-channel differences for each one of the multiple samples and testing the per-channel differences against a threshold value to determine a threshold comparison result. Finally, the method comprises compressing the framebuffer data for the tile based on the reduction ratio, the equality comparison result and the threshold comparison result to produce output framebuffer data for the tile.

摘要： A system and method are provided for implementing multi-stage translation of virtual addresses. The method includes the steps of receiving, at a first memory management unit, a memory request including a virtual address in a first address space, translating the virtual address to generate a second virtual address in a second address space, and transmitting a modified memory request including the second virtual address to a second memory management unit. The second memory management unit is configured to translate the second virtual address to generate a physical address in a third address space. The physical address is associated with a location in a memory.

摘要： A system and method for decompressing compressed data (e.g., in a frame buffer) and optionally recompressing the data. The method includes determining a portion of an image to be accessed from a memory and sending a conditional read corresponding to the portion of the image. In response to the conditional read, an indicator operable to indicate that the portion of the image is uncompressed may be received. If the portion of the image is compressed, in response to the conditional read, compressed data corresponding to the portion of the image is received. In response to receiving the compressed data, the compressed data is uncompressed into uncompressed data. The uncompressed data may then be written to the memory corresponding to the portion of the image. The uncompressed data may then be in-place compressed for or during subsequent processing.

摘要： A system and method are provided for protecting data. In operation, a request to read data from memory is received. Additionally, it is determined whether the data is stored in a predetermined portion of the memory. If it is determined that the data is stored in the predetermined portion of the memory, the data and a protect signal are returned for use in protecting the data. In certain embodiments of the invention, data stored in the predetermined portion of the memory may be further processed and written hack to the predetermined portion of the memory. In other embodiments of the invention, such processing may involve unprotected data stored outside the predetermined portion of the memory.

摘要： One embodiment of the present invention includes a memory management unit (MMU) that is configured to efficiently process requests to access memory that includes protected regions. Upon receiving an initial request via a virtual address (VA), the MMU translates the VA to a physical address (PA) based on page table entries (PTEs) and gates the response based on page-specific secure state information. To thwart software-based attempts to illicitly access the protected regions, the secure state information is not stored in page tables. However, to expedite subsequent requests, after the MMU identifies the PTE and the corresponding secure state information, the MMU stores both the PTE and the secure state information as a cache line in a translation lookaside buffer. Advantageously, the disclosed embodiments protect data in the protected regions from security risks associated with software-based protection schemes without incurring the performance degradation associated with hardware-based “carve-out” memory protection schemes.

摘要： One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for rendering graphics primitives in parallel while maintaining the API primitive ordering. Multiple, independent geometry units perform geometry processing concurrently on different graphics primitives. A primitive distribution scheme delivers primitives concurrently to multiple rasterizers at rates of multiple primitives per clock while maintaining the primitive ordering for each pixel. The multiple, independent rasterizer units perform rasterization concurrently on one or more graphics primitives, enabling the rendering of multiple primitives per system clock.
