    摘要: An electronic system, an integrated circuit and a method for display are disclosed. The electronic system contains a first device, a memory and a video/audio compression/decompression device such as a decoder/encoder. The electronic system is configured to allow the first device and the video/audio compression/decompression device to share the memory. The electronic system may be included in a computer in which case the memory is a main memory. Memory access is accomplished by one or more memory interfaces, direct coupling of the memory to a bus, or direct coupling of the first device and decoder/encoder to a bus. An arbiter selectively provides access for the first device and/or the decoder/encoder to the memory based on priority. The arbiter may be monolithically integrated into a memory interface. The decoder may be a video decoder configured to comply with the MPEG-2 standard. The memory may store predicted images obtained from a preceding image.

    摘要: A graphics processing system comprises at least one memory device storing a plurality of pixel command threads and a plurality of vertex command threads. An arbiter coupled to the at least one memory device is provided that selects a command thread from either the plurality of pixel or vertex command threads based on relative priorities of the plurality of pixel command threads and the plurality of vertex command threads. The selected command thread is provided to a command processing engine capable of processing pixel command threads and vertex command threads.

    摘要: A display control device for controlling a display of a display device responding to display processing from a plurality of processing units. A display controlling program controls the display device in response to at least one processing unit. The display controlling program receives a request from one processing unit to acquire one of predefined display areas, and determines whether to provide an authorization to acquire one of a plurality of predefined display areas in response to an acquisition request from the one processing unit. When a plurality of requests to acquire the same one of predefined display areas from a plurality of processing units are received, authorization is provided to a single processing unit that made one of the requests to acquire the same one of predefined display areas. The display device is instructed by a processor, based on the display controlling program. A memory, connected to the processor, stores the display controlling program. When an acquisition request for the same one of predefined display areas is received, the processor instructs the display device based on the display controlling program.

    摘要: Commands received from an apparatus that does not support virtual channels are assigned to a virtual channel. A command receiver 210 receives, from an external command transmitting entity that does not support virtual channels, a command designating an address. An assignment information storage unit 228 stores an assignment table in which an address space is divided into a plurality of areas and a channel is assigned to each area. A command storage unit 230 contains queues provided for respective channels, wherein each queue stores received commands temporarily. A distribution destination specifying unit 224 specifies a queue corresponding to an address by referring to the assignment table, and an execution unit 222 transfers the received command to the command storage unit 230 that corresponds to the specified queue.

The display control module is for controlling operations of the display module, wherein the display module is externally coupled to the integrated circuit via the shared pin. The display control module generates a pin-sharing control signal according to its operating status. The first control module is for controlling operations of the first circuit module, wherein the first circuit module is externally coupled to the integrated circuit via the shared pin. The pin-sharing management module is coupled to the display control module, the first control module and the shared pin and grants one of the display and first control modules access to the shared pin according to the pin-sharing control signal.

    摘要: A command processing apparatus and method are provided for optimally processing commands issued asynchronously from a plurality of masters to a storage apparatus including a plurality of banks, where each master issues commands for a bank 0 and a bank 1 alternately. The command processing apparatus includes buffer units that obtain commands issued from the plurality of masters, an arbitration unit that arbitrates the obtained commands, and an issuance unit that issues commands to the storage apparatus according to the arbitration. The arbitration unit reads the commands of the plurality of masters obtained in the buffer units, and selects one command as a result of arbitration. The arbitration unit waits until a next command of a master relating to the selected command becomes readable, and reads the next command. The issuance unit consecutively issues the selected command and the read command to the storage apparatus.
