    摘要： An image passthrough extension structure and method facilitating the transfer of compressed data image files from a software application to a device via the computer system operating system. The application determines whether the device is capable of decoding the specific compressed data file by polling the device driver. If the driver returns a “no support” message, the application processes the compressed data file in a conventional manner. If the driver returns a “support” message, the application transfers the compressed data file, along with the additional processing information, to the device driver utilizing the conventional file transfer operating system data structures modified to incorporate the compressed data file passthrough function. By allowing an application to transfer a compressed image file directly to a device driver, the present invention improves image fidelity and improves overall computer system efficiency by reducing the size of data files transferred between the application, the operating system and the hardware device.

    摘要： A CPU module includes a host element configured to perform a high-level host-related task, and one or more data-generating processing elements configured to perform a data-generating task associated with the high-level host-related task. Each data-generating processing element includes logic configured to receive input data, and logic configured to process the input data to produce output data. The amount of output data is greater than an amount of input data, and the ratio of the amount of input data to the amount of output data defines a decompression ratio. In one implementation, the high-level host-related task performed by the host element pertains to a high-level graphics processing task, and the data-generating task pertains to the generation of geometry data (such as triangle vertices) for use within the high-level graphics processing task. The CPU module can transfer the output data to a GPU module via at least one locked set of a cache memory. The GPU retrieves the output data from the locked set, and periodically forwards a tail pointer to a cacheable location within the data-generating elements that informs the data-generating elements of its progress in retrieving the output data.

    摘要： A display window is attributed a layering attribute such that underlying display windows are blended with the layered display window and displayed on the display screen. In a first embodiment, the layered window and the underlying window are represented as bitmaps. Any overlapping portions of the underlying window bitmap are redirected to an underlay buffer and composited with the layered window bitmap according to a display order and an opacity level. In a second embodiment, the layered window and the underlying window are represented as hardware sprites. Graphics device hardware stores copies of each sprite and composites each sprite according to a display order and an opacity level. In either embodiment or in a combination of both, as the layered window is moved or resized, the stored data allows for updating the composite display without requiring system expensive display regenerations.

    摘要： Content is rendered for display using a plurality of rendering contexts. Rendering is performed, at least in part, using a graphics processing unit (GPU). The plurality of rendering contexts can comprise a lower priority rendering context and a higher priority rendering context. One or more components can be associated with each of the lower priority rendering context and the higher priority rendering context. Different restrictions can be imposed on each rendering context. Restrictions can include a restriction on block size, prioritization of requests for each context, and a restriction on the number of requests in a GPU queue at a time.

    摘要： User interfaces for facilitating performance analysis for processing include a first window and a second window. The first window identifies events that have been captured during processing of a set of commands by a processing unit, such as during the drawing of a video frame by a graphics processing unit. The second window includes information regarding the processing of the set of commands at different chronological points during processing, such as showing how the frame appears at different chronological points while being drawn.

    摘要： A notification component that is shared between all applications that provides notifications to users without interrupting the task that the user is working and allows users to manage the notifications from one location. The user can globally set preferences as to how the notifications should be rendered. These preferences include enabling or disabling notification classifications, which rendering type they want to use for each notification classification, and priority of notifications within each notification classification. The notification component allows the user to indicate what notifications the user want to sees and how the notifications are rendered. Rendering types include audio, visual, and pager styles. An application uses an application programming interface to send notification using schema based or text based notifications. The system parses the notification and provides the user the notification through notification classifications in accordance with the user preferences.

    摘要： Improving a process in which information is read, modified, and written, and in which reading information is more costly (e.g., slower) than writing information. The information may be pixel information from a second (or remote) image and the modification may be a blending operation with a first (or local) image. The pixel information of the second (or remote) image may be stored in a video display frame buffer at a display adapter. The display adapter may be coupled via a bus, such as a PCI bus for example, with a CPU (or other machine) which performs the modification, such as image blending for example. This process is improved by limiting the number of reads of the pixel information of the second (or remote) image. Further, reads may be combined when doing so improves read performance and when alignment conditions are met. All modify and all or some write steps may be performed after all read steps have been performed, rather than performing all three (3) steps on a pixel-by-pixel, or pixel vector-by-pixel vector basis.

    摘要翻译： 改进读取，修改和写入信息的过程，并且读取信息比写入信息更昂贵（例如，更慢）。 信息可以是来自第二（或远程）图像的像素信息，并且修改可以是与第一（或局部）图像的混合操作。 第二（或远程）图像的像素信息可以存储在显示适配器的视频显示帧缓冲器中。 显示适配器可以经由诸如PCI总线的总线与执行修改的CPU（或其他机器）耦合，例如图像混合。 通过限制第二（或远程）图像的像素信息的读取次数来改善该过程。 此外，当这样做时，可以组合读取可以提高读取性能并且当对齐条件被满足时。 所有修改和所有或某些写入步骤可以在执行所有读取步骤之后执行，而不是以逐个像素为单位执行所有三（3）个步骤，或者以逐像素向量为单位。
