Abstract: Methods for determining an optimal memory allocation unit size for a framebuffer in a single memory pool comprising frame buffer memory and display list memory on printing devices are presented. In some embodiments, a method for determining an optimal allocation unit size for memory allocation units allocated from a memory pool in response to a memory allocation request for a pixmap comprises determining the amount of unutilized memory when the pixmap is stored using a plurality of memory allocation unit sizes, wherein the memory allocation unit sizes are an integral multiple of a base memory allocation unit; and selecting a memory allocation unit size from the plurality of memory allocation unit sizes based on criteria related to the amount of unutilized memory.

Abstract: Systems and methods consistent with some embodiments presented provide methods for the concurrent generation and parallel rasterization of at least one display list in a memory pool comprising frame buffer memory and display list memory, wherein the display list comprises a plurality of equal sized display list blocks, the method comprises: monitoring the completion status of the display list blocks; monitoring the availability of rasterization processes; assigning a completed display list block to an available rasterization process; and rasterizing the display list block using the available rasterization process. In some embodiments, rasterization processes may run concurrently and operate on distinct blocks corresponding to distinct bands. Rasterized display list blocks are returned to the memory pool. In some embodiments, each concurrently executing rasterization process may execute on a distinct core of a multi-core processor.

Abstract: Systems and methods consistent with some embodiments presented provide methods for print resource management. In some embodiments of methods for print resource management print data comprising PDL data may be parsed to identify reusable resources in the print data. The reusable resources may be converted to a common internal format and stored. In some embodiments, reusable resources may be rendered to obtain a rendered version of the reusable resource, which may be stored. In some embodiments, the stored rendered version or a rendered form of the stored formatted version of the reusable resource may be used in a bitmap image for a page whenever the reusable resource is referenced during the creation of the bitmap image for the page.

Abstract: Methods for managing a framebuffer in a single memory pool comprising frame buffer memory and display list memory on printing devices are presented. In some embodiments, a method for managing at least one pixmap corresponding to an image using equal sized blocks allocated to the pixmap from a memory pool comprises: receiving a request for at least one scanline in the image; securing a pointer to at least one block from the memory pool in response to the request for the at least one scanline, if memory blocks are available in the memory pool; and applying at least one of a plurality of memory freeing strategies, if there are no memory blocks available in the memory pool.
