    Abstract: A controller is described that includes wiring to transport notification that a FIFO that holds data to be used to display content on a display has reached a threshold. The controller also includes first control circuitry to turn on a phase locked loop (PLL) circuit to cause logic circuitry within the controller downstream from the PLL to begin to receive a first clock in response to the notification. The logic circuitry is to transport data read from a memory toward the FIFO. The controller also includes second control circuitry to cause the memory to use a second clock provided by the controller in response to the notification.

    Abstract: Z testing during computer graphics rendering is performed in a manner so as to optimize rendering. The status of a pixel as non-promotable may be tracked using a pixel status array (PSA). Each PSA row may contain bits which correspond to the non-promotable status of pixels. Each row may include five pixels, the first four of which represent the pixels in a subspan. If the row corresponds to a valid subspan, a determination may be made as to whether any pixel in the subspan is represented by a one, indicating that the pixel is non-promotable. This row corresponds to a previous subspan that has been sent down rendering pipeline. If a one is present, then the current subspan may be stalled until the pixels of the previous subspan has gone through color calculation. If, in the row that has just been read, no pixels are represented by a one, then a determination may be made as to whether any pixels in the current subspan are non-promotable. If so, then the corresponding bit in the current PSA row may be set to one. Otherwise, the Z test may be performed on each pixel of the current subspan.

    Abstract translation: 在计算机图形渲染期间的Z测试以优化渲染的方式执行。 可以使用像素状态阵列(PSA)跟踪不可升级的像素的状态。 每个PSA行可以包含对应于像素的不可升级状态的位。 每行可以包括五个像素,其中前四个表示子跨距中的像素。 如果该行对应于有效的子跨度,则可以确定子跨越中的任何像素是否由一个表示,表示该像素是不可升级的。 此行对应于已向下渲染管道发送的先前子跨。 如果存在一个,那么当前的子跨越可能会停顿,直到前一个子跨越的像素经过颜色计算。 如果在刚刚读取的行中没有像素由一个像素表示,则可以确定当前子跨距中的任何像素是否不可升级。 如果是,则当前PSA行中的相应位可以被设置为1。 否则,可以对当前子跨的每个像素执行Z测试。

    Abstract: Techniques to determine when to decrease a frame display rate based in part on the amount or degree of change between sequential frames. The amount or degree of change can be measured based on all or part of similarly located portions of sequential frames. In some cases, power use can be reduced without compromising visual quality by reducing frame display rate when an amount or degree of change between frames is small.

    Abstract: A system for addressing incompatibility between services and applications is disclosed. The system comprises an intermediation module, a mapper module and an execution module. The intermediation module is configured to receive a first call from an application and retrieve from a directory a reference to a service associated with the application. The mapper module is configured to retrieve, from the directory, service metadata describing the service and business metadata describing business on the application. The mapper module generates a mapping table that maps the business metadata to the service metadata for providing a response to the application query. The mapper module determines if an incompatibility exists between a business requirement associated with the application and the service. The execution module selects and executes an interface of the service based on the mapping of the business metadata and the service metadata.

    Abstract: A system and method for throttling a slave component of a computer system to reduce an overall temperature of the computing system upon receiving a first signal is disclosed. The first signal may be from a master component indicating that a temperature for the master component has exceeded its threshold temperature. The slave component or the master component may be a central processing unit, a graphics memory and controller hub, or a central processing unit memory controller hub. The slave component may send a second signal to indicate that a temperature for the slave component has exceeded its temperature. The master component would then initiate throttling of the master component to reduce the overall temperature of the computing system. The master component may be throttled to a degree less than the slave component. A first component may be designated the master component and the second component may be designated the slave component based on a selection policy. The selection policy may be received from a user through a graphical user interface. The selection policy may be based on an action being performed by the computing system.
