Abstract:

Examples described herein improve the quality of the video frames that are rendered and displayed. A system is configured to generate render targets based on instructions received from a source of video content. The system is configured to create and/or access a selection parameter and use the selection parameter to identify one or more of the render targets to be scaled. Once identified, the system scales a native size (e.g., a native resolution) of an identified render target to a larger size (e.g., based on a predetermined scaling factor), thereby generating a higher density render target. The higher density render target, or a corresponding higher density render target texture (RTT), can be used in a rendering pipeline to produce a video frame in a higher output resolution (e.g., 4k resolution) compared to the output resolution specified in the instructions (e.g., 720p resolution).

Abstract:

A computing device for just-in-time cross-compiling compiled binaries of application programs that utilize graphics processing unit (GPU) executed programs configured to be executed on a first GPU having a first application binary interface (ABI) including a second GPU having a second ABI different from the first ABI of the first GPU, and a processor configured to execute an application program that utilizes a plurality of GPU-executed programs configured to be executed for the first ABI of the first GPU, execute a run-time executable cross-compiler configured to, while the application program is being executed, emulate the first ABI using hardware resources of the second GPU by translating between the first ABI and the second ABI, and execute the plurality of GPU-executed programs on the second GPU with the emulated first ABI, and pass output of the plurality of GPU-executed programs for the emulated first ABI through the second ABI.

International Classification:

G06T 15/00

Abstract:

A computing system configured to execute instructions for a first graphical processing unit (GPU) on a second GPU is provided. The computing system may include the second GPU and a processor. The processor may be configured to receive second GPU state data that indicates one or more global properties of the second GPU. The processor may be further configured to receive one or more binary instructions for texture operation configured to be executed on the first GPU. Based on the second GPU state data, the processor may be further configured to apply a texture value patch to the one or more binary instructions. Applying the texture value patch may translate the one or more binary instructions into one or more translated binary instructions configured to be executed on the second GPU.
