There are many instances where a standard dynamic range (“SDR”) overlay is displayed over high dynamic range (“HDR”) content on HDR displays. Because the overlay is SDR, the maximum brightness of the overlay is much lower than the maximum brightness of the HDR content, which can lead to the SDR elements being obscured if those elements have at least some transparency. The present disclosure provides techniques including modifying the luminance of either or both of the HDR and SDR content when an SDR layer with some transparency is displayed over HDR content. A variety of techniques are provided. In one example, a fixed adjustment is applied to pixels of one or both of the SDR layer and the HDR layer. The fixed adjustment comprises decreasing the luminance of the HDR layer and/or increasing the luminance of the SDR layer. In another example, a variable adjustment is applied.

Arbitration Allocating Requests During Backpressure
An arbitration system receives requests to access a destination during an arbitration window that spans multiple processor clock cycles. During each clock cycle, the destination is monitored to determine whether the destination is suffering from backpressure by receiving more requests than the destination is able to accommodate during the clock cycle. In response to detecting backpressure, a masking index value assigned to a requesting source is incremented, which limits an amount of requests from the source that will be granted destination access during a subsequent arbitration window. Alternatively, in response to detecting an absence of backpressure during an arbitration window, the masking index value is decremented, which increases the amount of requests from the source that will be granted destination access during a subsequent arbitration window. This arbitration process continues for successive arbitration windows, oscillating between incrementing and decrementing the masking index value during the successive arbitration windows.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods for performing color channel correlation detection are disclosed. A compression engine performs a color channel transform on an original set of pixel data to generate a channel transformed set of pixel data. An analysis unit determines whether to compress the channel transformed set of pixel data or the original set of pixel data based on performing a comparison of the two sets of pixel data. In one scenario, the channel transformed set of pixel data is generated by calculating the difference between a first pixel component and a second pixel component for each pixel of the set of pixel data. The difference is then compared to the original first pixel component for each pixel. If the difference is less than or equal to the original for a threshold number of pixels, then the analysis unit decides to apply the color channel transform prior to compression.
A processor for optimizing partial writes to compressed blocks is configured to identify that a write request targets less than an entirety of a compressed block of pixel data, identify, based on a compression key, a compressed segment of the compressed block of pixel data that includes a target of the write request, and decompress, responsive to the write request, only the identified compressed segment of the compressed block of pixel data.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods for updating and optimizing task scheduling policies are disclosed. A new policy is obtained and updated at runtime by a client based on a server analyzing a wide spectrum of telemetry data on a relatively long time scale. Instead of only looking at the telemetry data from the client's execution of tasks for the previous frame, the server analyzes the execution times of tasks for multiple previous frames so as to determine a more optimal policy for subsequent frames. This mechanism enables making a more informed task scheduling policy decision as well as customizing the policy per application, game, and user without requiring a driver update. Also, this mechanism facilitates improved load balancing across the various processing engines, each of which has their own task queues. The improved load balancing is achieved by analyzing the telemetry data including resource utilization statistics for the different processing engines.

A processing system divides successive dispatches of work items into portions. The successive dispatches are separated from each other by barriers, each barrier indicating that the work items of the previous dispatch must complete execution before work items of a subsequent dispatch can begin execution. In some embodiments, the processing system interleaves execution of portions of a first dispatch with portions of subsequent dispatches that consume data produced by the first dispatch. The processing system thereby reduces the amount of data written to the local cache by a producer dispatch while preserving data locality for a subsequent consumer (or consumer/producer) dispatch and facilitating processing efficiency.
An electronic device includes an accelerated processing unit (APU) and multiple elements. The APU performs operations for a platform boost and throttle (PBT) controller. For the operations, the APU receives a platform electrical power limit, the platform electrical power limit being a limit on a total electrical power allowed to be consumed by a group of the elements at a given time. The APU then determines a present platform electrical power consumption. The APU next adjusts one or more operating parameters for specified elements from among the group of elements to control electrical power consumption by the specified elements based on a relationship between the present platform electrical power consumption and the platform electrical power limit.
One or more components of a computing device are run by default in a boost mode state. The one or more components continue to run in the boost mode state until the boost mode state is no longer sustainable, e.g., due to power consumption of the one or more components or temperature of the one or more components. The one or more components are switched to a reduced power state (e.g., a non-boost mode state) in response to the boost mode state no longer being sustainable. When operating the one or more components in the boost mode state again becomes sustainable due to power consumption or temperature of the one or more components, the one or more components are returned to the default boost mode state.

Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing a discard engine in a graphics pipeline are disclosed. A system includes a graphics pipeline with a geometry engine launching shaders that generate attribute data for vertices of each primitive of a set of primitives. The attribute data is consumed by pixel shaders, with each pixel shader generating a deallocation message when the pixel shader no longer needs the attribute data. A discard engine gathers deallocations from multiple pixel shaders and determines when the attribute data is no longer needed. Once a block of attributes has been consumed by all potential pixel shader consumers, the discard engine deallocates the given block of attributes. The discard engine sends a discard command to the caches so that the attribute data can be invalidated and not written back to memory.
Systems, apparatuses, and methods for implementing gradient adaptive ringing control for image resampling are disclosed. A blending alpha calculation circuit generates a blending alpha value for a set of input pixels based on a normalized gradient calculated for the set of input pixels.

The normalized gradient is passed through a mapping function so as to generate the blending alpha value. The mapping function is pre-tuned based on filter coefficients, video content type, pixel format, and so on. An interpolated pixel is generated for the set of input pixels by blending ringing free and ringing prone interpolation coefficients, or by blending results between ringing free and ringing prone interpolation filters, with the blending weight for each filter based on the blending alpha value.

A processing unit performs a dispatch walk of a set of thread groups based on a programmable access pattern. The access pattern is stored at a table that is programmed with the access pattern based upon a specified command. By using the command to program the table with different access patterns, the dispatch order of the set of thread groups is adapted to better suit the processing of different data sets, thereby reducing power consumption at the processing unit, and improving overall processing efficiency.
A processing system is configured to translate a first cache access pattern of a dispatch of work items to a cache access pattern that facilitates consumption of data stored at a cache of a parallel processing unit by a subsequent access before the data is evicted to a more remote level of the memory hierarchy. For consecutive cache accesses having read-after-read data locality, in some embodiments the processing system translates the first cache access pattern to a space-filling curve. In some embodiments, for consecutive accesses having read-after-write data locality, the processing system translates a first typewriter cache access pattern that proceeds in ascending order for a first access to a reverse typewriter cache access pattern that proceeds in descending order for a subsequent cache access. By translating the cache access pattern based on data locality, the processing system increases the hit rate of the cache.
