摘要:
Techniques are described to transmit commands to a display device. The commands can be transmitted in header byte fields of secondary data packets. The commands can be used to cause a target device to capture a frame, enter or exit self refresh mode, or reduce power use of a connection. In addition, a request to exit main link standby mode can cause the target enter training mode without explicit command to exit main link standby mode.

A high throughput memory access interface is provided. The interface includes features which provide higher data transfer rates between system memory and video/graphics or audio adapters than is possible using standard local bus architectures, such as PCI or ISA. The interface allows memory access requests to be performed in such a manner that only portions of an access request are required to be transmitted to the target device for certain bus transactions. Each access request includes command bits, address bits, and length bits. In the initiating device, each access request is separated into three segments, which are stored in separate registers in both the initiating device and the target device. Only the segment which contains the lowest order address bits and the length bits is required by the target device to initiate the bus transaction. Thus, if either of the other two segments has not changed since the previous access request, then such segment or segments are not transmitted to the target. If such segment or segments have changed since the previous access request, then they are provided to the target only for purposes of updating state in the target. Access requests may optionally be provided to the target on a separate port from the port used to transmit data in response to access requests.

An electronic device, method, and at least one machine readable medium for burst mode processing of video data with inband link power management are provided herein. The method includes receiving a pixel stream, transferring the received stream as currently-available frame-formatted video data to a sink in burst at high data rate, and entering a reduced-power operating state until transfer of additional currently-available video data is enabled. The method may include issuing inband command signals to cause the link to enter into and exit from the reduced-power link operating states.

In a wireless video system, the clock rate for wirelessly transmitting the video data from the transmitting device should be identical to the clock rate for receiving the video data at the receiving device. But the two devices have separate clocks, whose frequencies may drift apart over time, leading the video buffer to be over run or under run. Clock synchronizing messages to prevent this may be sent at short intervals when clock synchronization is first being acquired, and at larger intervals after clock synchronization has already been achieved and is merely being maintained.

Described herein are techniques related to power efficient encoder architecture during static frame or sub-frame detection. In particular, a method of implementing a power savings algorithm is described upon detection of the static frame or sub-frame by the encoder architecture.

摘要:
A method and system for enhancing graphics processing through selected placement of at least one graphics operand in main memory. The system includes a graphics controller in communication with system memory through a dedicated graphics bus such as an Accelerated Graphics Port (AGP) bus. This allows texture maps, alpha blending data and other graphics information to be contained in system memory without degradation of system performance.

An arbitration signaling mechanism for an intermediate bus coupled between an expansion bridge and a host bridge that manages communication over the intermediate bus. The host bridge includes a CPU posting buffer for posting transactions between a CPU and the expansion bridge, and a DRAM buffer for storing data to be written into the DRAM. The host bridge also includes an arbiter coupled to receive a request signal from the expansion bridge and any other bus agents coupled to the expansion bridge. Responsive to a request from the expansion bridge, the arbiter empties the CPU posting buffer and the DRAM buffer before asserting an acknowledge signal. A passive release method is provided, which includes signaling a passive release semantic by the expansion bridge during a communication cycle in which the expansion bridge has bus control. The host bridge can grant temporary use of the bus to another bus agent before again granting access to the expansion bridge.
摘要:
A memory controller having a data strobe that tracks the column access strobe signal in a computer system having Extended Data Out (EDO) DRAMs. The data strobe signal follows, by a predetermined delay, the column access strobe signal, and therefore any skew in the column access strobe signal is inherently included within the data strobe signal. As a result, the data can be latched out, responsive to said data strobe signal, at approximately the center of the valid window.
