Abstract: An apparatus includes a cache controller circuit and a cache memory circuit that further includes cache memory having a plurality of cache lines. The cache controller circuit may be configured to receive a request to reallocate a portion of the cache memory circuit that is currently in use. This request may identify an address region corresponding to one or more of the cache lines. The cache controller circuit may be further configured, in response to the request, to convert the one or more cache lines to directly-addressable, random-access memory (RAM) by excluding the one or more cache lines from cache operations.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to merging virtual communication channels in a portion of a computing system. In some embodiments, a communication fabric routes first and second classes of traffic with different quality-of-service parameters, using a first virtual channel for the first class and a second virtual channel for the second class. In some embodiments, a memory controller communicates, via the fabric, using a merged virtual channel configured to handle traffic from both the first virtual channel and the second virtual channel. In some embodiments, the system limits the rate at which an agent is allowed to transmit requests of the second class of traffic, but requests by the agent for the first class of traffic are not rate limited. Disclosed techniques may improve independence of virtual channels, relative to sharing the same channel in an entire system, without unduly increasing complexity.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and devices are described that may mitigate pixel and touch crosstalk noise. A touch processing system may compensate touch scan data to reduce the noise based on a luminance value. An image processing system may determine the luminance value based on image data and a display brightness value of an electronic display. Using the compensated touch scan data, the touch processing system may determine a proximity of a capacitive object to at least one touch sense region of the electronic display.

Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for dynamically partitioning a memory cache among a plurality of agents are described. A system includes a plurality of agents, a communication fabric, a memory cache, and a lower-level memory. The partitioning of the memory cache for the active data streams of the agents is dynamically adjusted to reduce memory bandwidth and increase power savings across a wide range of applications. A memory cache driver monitors activations and characteristics of the data streams of the system. When a change is detected, the memory cache driver dynamically updates the memory cache allocation policy and quotas for the agents. The quotas specify how much of the memory cache each agent is allowed to use. The updates are communicated to the memory cache controller to enforce the new policy and enforce the new quotas for the various agents accessing the memory.

Abstract: An electronic device may include an electronic display to display an image based on processed image data. The electronic device may also include image processing circuitry to generate the processed image data based on input image data and previously determined data stored in memory. The image processing circuitry may also operate according to real-time computing constraints. Cache memory may store the previously determined data in a provisioned section of the cache memory allotted to the image processing circuitry. Additionally, a controller may manage reading and writing of the previously determined data to the provisioned section of the cache memory.

Abstract: A memory controller may include a dynamic arbitration scheme to dynamically vary arbitration factors of two or more traffic classes based on dynamic latency tolerance, requested and available bandwidths on an interconnect from source agents to memory controllers, and other dynamic and static factors.
