    摘要： In a computer system having a CPU and a graphics subsystem, a device for dynamic graphics subsystem clock adjustment. A clock pulse generator is used for generating a clock frequency. The clock frequency is coupled to the graphics subsystem and is used by the graphics subsystem to synchronize and pace its internal operations. The clock frequency generated by the generator is variable over a range. A controller is coupled to the clock pulse generator, for adjusting the clock frequency from the clock pulse generator over the range. The controller interfaces with the computer system through an interface coupled to the controller. Through the interface, the controller communicates with the computer system or graphics subsystem and determines a load placed on the graphics subsystem. The controller adjusts the clock frequency generated by the clock pulse generator such that the clock frequency increases when the load on the graphics subsystem increases and the clock frequency decreases when the load on the graphics subsystem decreases, dynamically adjusting the clock frequency in response to the load on the graphics subsystem.

    摘要： Encrypted graphics data is transmitted between systems or components of a system. The data is decrypted within a graphics processor or other recipient device that has been provided with an appropriate key. In one embodiment, encryption is performed by perturbing selected parameters of the graphics data so that the encrypted data can be used to generate a distorted image, and decryption is performed by reversing the perturbation.

    摘要： Disclosed are a GPU video data preprocessor, a computer device, an apparatus and a method for facilitating expeditious video transfer to graphics memory for enhancing display and video capture applications, among other things. In one embodiment, a graphics preprocessor is used to preprocess video for transit via a graphics processing unit (“GPU”) directly to graphics memory without invoking a graphics driver. The graphics preprocessor includes an input configured to receive video data. It also includes a native data formatter coupled to the input and configured to format the video data as GPU data to conform with the architecture of the GPU. In at least one embodiment, the graphics preprocessor also includes a command execution unit, which can be configured to transmit an instruction executable by the GPU as a transmitted instruction to perform a graphics pipeline operation on the GPU data.

    摘要： One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a technique for displaying high-resolution images using multiple graphics processing units (GPUs). The graphics driver is configured to present one virtual display device, simulating a high-resolution mosaic display surface, to the operating system and the application programs. The graphics driver is also configured to partition the display surface amongst the GPUs and transmit commands and data to the local memory associated with the first GPU. A video bridge automatically broadcasts this information to the local memories associated with the remaining GPUs. Each GPU renders and displays only the partition of the display surface assigned to that particular GPU, and the GPUs are synchronized to ensure the continuity of the displayed images. This technique allows the system to display higher resolution images than the system hardware would otherwise support, transparently to the operating system and the application programs.
