    Abstract: A system and method for high performance secure access to a trusted platform module on a hardware virtualization platform, which includes Virtual Machine Monitor (VMM) managed components coupled to the VMM and a plurality of Virtual Machines (VMs). One of the VMM managed components is a Trusted Platform Module (TPM) Each virtual machine includes a guest Operating System, a TPM device driver (TDD), and at least one security application. The VMM creates an intra-partition in memory for each TDD such that other code and information at a same or higher privilege level in the VM cannot access the TDD's memory contents. The VMM also maps access only from the TDD to a TPM register space specifically designated for the VM requesting access. Contents of the TPM requested by the TDD are stored in an exclusively VMM-managed protected page table that provides hardware-based memory isolation for the TDD.

    Abstract: Compression techniques for dynamically-generated graphics resources are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may comprise logic, at least a portion of which is in hardware, the logic to determine one or more usage characteristics of a dynamically-generated graphics resource, determine whether to compress the dynamically-generated graphics resource based on the one or more usage characteristics, and in response to a determination to compress the dynamically-generated graphics resource, select a compression procedure based on a graphics quality threshold for the dynamically-generated graphics resource. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    Abstract: Methods and devices to augment volatile memory in a graphics subsystem with certain types of non-volatile memory are described. In one embodiment, includes storing one or more static or near-static graphics resources in a non-volatile random access memory (NVRAM). The NVRAM is directly accessible by a graphics processor using at least memory store and load commands. The method also includes a graphics processor executing a graphics application. The graphics processor sends a request using a memory load command for an address corresponding to at least one static or near-static graphics resources stored in the NVRAM. The method also includes directly loading the requested graphics resource from the NVRAM into a cache for the graphics processor in response to the memory load command.
