Abstract:
A graphics processor may be assigned a number of banks in a shared local memory to reduce the number of bank conflicts. In some cases, the number of banks may be higher than the single instruction multiple data slot number times the number of messages per cycle. The actual number of banks may be set to the next higher relatively prime number of 2n and 3 where n is 0-5.
Abstract:
A mechanism is described for facilitating using of a shared local memory for register spilling/filling relating to graphics processors at computing devices. A method of embodiments, as described herein, includes reserving one or more spaces of a shared local memory (SLM) to perform one or more of spilling and filling relating to registers associated with a graphics processor of a computing device.
Abstract:
A computer arrangement that offloads computationally intensive tasks from portable computer devices to larger servers is disclosed. A portable computer device that relies on handwriting or speech for input is equipped with a wireless communication subsystem. When a user writes on the display or speaks into the portable computer device, the central processing unit passes the handwriting or speech information to the wireless communication subsystem. While the user is still inputting information, the wireless communication subsystem transmits received information to a communication server. The communication server routes the handwriting or speech information to a server that performs handwriting or speech recognition to translate the information into encoded text. The communication server then transmits the encoded text information back to the portable computer device.
