Abstract: A technique for varying firmware for different virtual functions in a virtualized device is provided. The virtualized device includes a hardware accelerator and a microcontroller that executes firmware. The virtualized device is virtualized in that the virtualized device performs work for different virtual functions (with different virtual functions associated with different virtual machines), each function getting a “time-slice” during which work is performed for that function. To vary the firmware, each time the virtualized device switches from performing work for a current virtual function to work for a subsequent virtual function, one or more microcontrollers of the virtualized device examines memory storing addresses for firmware for the subsequent virtual function and begins executing the firmware for that subsequent virtual function. The addresses for the firmware are provided by a corresponding virtual machine at configuration time.

Abstract: Disclosed herein is a region-based reference management system using in video frame encoding. Source content, such as video game streaming or remote desktop sharing, that includes scene changes or significant instantaneous changes in a region from one frame to the next can present encoding challenges. Techniques disclosed herein use hints about changes in regional frame content, dissect frame content into regions, and associate the dissected regions with stored reference frame data using the hints and information about the regions to more efficiently encode frames.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for scheduling jobs for multiple frame-based applications are disclosed. A computing system executes a plurality of frame-based applications for generating pixels for display. The applications convey signals to a scheduler to notify the scheduler of various events within a given frame being rendered. The scheduler adjusts the priorities of applications based on the signals received from the applications. The scheduler attempts to adjust priorities of applications and schedule jobs from these applications so as to minimize the perceived latency of each application. When an application has enqueued the last job for the current frame, the scheduler raises the priority of the application to high. This results in the scheduler attempting to schedule all remaining jobs for the application back-to-back. Once all jobs of the application have been completed, the priority of the application is reduced, permitting jobs of other applications to be executed.

Abstract: A technique for managing access to a micro engine, the method comprising: determining that a virtual function “VF”) is to be given access to direct communication with a micro engine; in response to the determining, configuring the micro engine to accept direct communication from the VF; monitoring for unpermitted communication; and after a time period has expired, configuring the micro engine to no longer accept direct communication from the VF.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for reducing latency when consuming an encoded video bitstream in real-time are disclosed. A video encoder encodes a video bitstream and writes chunks of the encoded bitstream to a bitstream buffer. Prior to the encoder completing the encoding of an entire frame, or an entire slice of a frame, a consumer module consumes encoded chunks of the bitstream. In one implementation, to enable pipelining of the consumption with the encoding, the encoder updates a buffer write pointer with an indication of the amount of data that has been written to the bitstream buffer. The consumer module retrieves encoded data from the bitstream buffer up to the location indicated by the buffer write pointer. In this way, the consumer module is able to access and consume encoded video data prior to the encoder finishing encoding an entire frame or an entire slice of the frame.
