Abstract: A method and an apparatus for notifying a display driver to update a display with a graphics frame including multiple graphics data rendered separately by multiple graphics processing units (GPUs) substantially concurrently are described. Graphics commands may be received to dispatch to each GPU for rendering corresponding graphics data. The display driver may be notified when each graphics data has been completely rendered respectively by the corresponding GPU.

Abstract translation: 基本上同时描述用于通过显示驱动器通过包括由多个图形处理单元（GPU）单独呈现的多个图形数据的图形帧来更新显示器的方法和装置。 可以接收图形命令以发送到每个GPU以呈现对应的图形数据。 当每个图形数据已经被相应的GPU分别完全呈现时，可以通知显示驱动器。

Abstract: A method of managing multiple contexts for a single mode display includes receiving a plurality of tasks from one or more applications and determining respective contexts for each task, each context having a range of memory addresses. The method also includes selecting one context for output to the single mode display and loading the selected context into a graphics processor for the display.
