    Abstract: Techniques for supporting both 2-D and 3-D graphics are described. A graphics processing unit (GPU) may perform 3-D graphics processing in accordance with a 3-D graphics pipeline to render 3-D images and may also perform 2-D graphics processing in accordance with a 2-D graphics pipeline to render 2-D images. Each stage of the 2-D graphics pipeline may be mapped to at least one stage of the 3-D graphics pipeline. For example, a clipping, masking and scissoring stage in 2-D graphics may be mapped to a depth test stage in 3-D graphics. Coverage values for pixels within paths in 2-D graphics may be determined using rasterization and depth test stages in 3-D graphics. A paint generation stage and an image interpolation stage in 2-D graphics may be mapped to a fragment shader stage in 3-D graphics. A blending stage in 2-D graphics may be mapped to a blending stage in 3-D graphics.

    Abstract: The invention provides an apparatus for controlling servo signal gains of an optical disc drive. The apparatus adjusts the gains of a plurality of servo signals controlling a servo system of the optical disc drive when the optical disk drive encounters an operating state transition. In a first mode, at least one AGC loop of the apparatus compensates the gains of the servo signals with a selectable bandwidth during a specific period after the operating state transition to accelerate the convergence of the servo signals. In a second mode, at least one AGC loop of the apparatus reloads the previously saved convergence values or pre-determined values as the initial values according to the current operating state immediately after the operating state transition to accelerate the convergence of the servo signals.

    Abstract: This disclosure describes a graphics processing unit (GPU) pipeline that uses one or more shared arithmetic logic units (ALUs). In order to facilitate such sharing of ALUs, the stages of the disclosed GPU pipeline may be rearranged relative to conventional GPU pipelines. In addition, by rearranging the stages of the GPU pipeline, efficiencies may be achieved in the image processing. Unlike conventional GPU pipelines, for example, an attribute gradient setup stage can be located much later in the pipeline, and the attribute interpolator stage may immediately follow the attribute gradient setup stage. This allows sharing of an ALU by the attribute gradient setup and attribute interpolator stages. Several other techniques and features for the GPU pipeline are also described, which may improve performance and possibly achieve additional processing efficiencies.
