Abstract: A graphics processing system comprises at least one memory device storing a plurality of pixel command threads and a plurality of vertex command threads. An arbiter coupled to the at least one memory device is provided that selects a pixel command thread from the plurality of pixel command threads and a vertex command thread from the plurality of vertex command threads. The arbiter further selects a command thread from the previously selected pixel command thread and the vertex command thread, which command thread is provided to a command processing engine capable of processing pixel command threads and vertex command threads.

Abstract: A method and system for performing byte-writes are described, where byte-writes involve writing only particular bytes of a multiple byte write operation. Embodiments include mask data that indicates which bytes are to be written in a byte-write operation. No dedicated mask pin(s) or dedicated mask line(s) are used. In one embodiment, the mask data is transmitted on data lines and store in response to a write_mask command. In one embodiment, the mask data is transmitted as part of the write command.

Abstract translation: 描述了用于执行字节写入的方法和系统，其中字节写入仅涉及仅写入多字节写入操作的特定字节。 实施例包括指示在字节写入操作中要写入哪些字节的掩码数据。 不使用专用的掩码引脚或专用掩码线。 在一个实施例中，掩码数据在数据线上传输，并响应于write_mask命令存储。 在一个实施例中，掩模数据作为写入命令的一部分被发送。

Abstract: Embodiments of a peripheral component are described herein. Embodiments provide alternatives to the use of an external bridge integrated circuit (IC) architecture. For example, an embodiment multiplexes a peripheral bus such that multiple processors in one peripheral component can use one peripheral interface slot without requiring an external bridge IC. Embodiments are usable with known bus protocols.
