Power Savings In A Computing Device During Video Playback

View page
US Patent:
7876327, Jan 25, 2011
Filed:
Dec 21, 2006
Appl. No.:
11/614365
Inventors:
Krishnan Sreenivas - Santa Clara CA, US
Koen Bennebroek - Santa Clara CA, US
Sanford S. Lum - San Jose CA, US
Karthik Bhat - Sunnyvale CA, US
Stefano A. Pescador - Sunnyvale CA, US
David G. Reed - Saratoga CA, US
Brad W. Simeral - San Francisco CA, US
Edward M. Veeser - Austin TX, US
Assignee:
NVIDIA Corporation - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
G06F 13/00
G09G 5/36
G09G 5/37
US Classification:
345538, 345537, 345547, 345556, 345562
Abstract:
Display data and video data are stored within a graphics processing unit to reduce power consumed by the computing device during video playback. Storing display data and video data within the GPU reduces power consumption, because bus transaction activity is reduced and the need to read data from a larger, common main memory is avoided.

US Patent:
8098254, Jan 17, 2012
Filed:
Jan 14, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/007431
Inventors:
Krishnan Sreenivas - Santa Clara CA, US
Koen Bennebroek - Santa Clara CA, US
Sanford S. Lum - San Jose CA, US
Karthik Bhat - Sunnyvale CA, US
Stefano A. Pescador - Sunnyvale CA, US
David G. Reed - Saratoga CA, US
Brad W. Simeral - San Francisco CA, US
Edward M. Veeser - Austin TX, US
Assignee:
NVIDIA Corporation - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
G06F 13/00
G09G 5/36
G09G 5/37
US Classification:
345538, 345537, 345547, 345556, 345562

Screen Compression For Mobile Applications

US Patent:
8120614, Feb 21, 2012
Filed:
Mar 17, 2011
Appl. No.:
13/050708
Inventors:
Krishnan Sreenivas - Santa Clara CA, US
Koen Bennebroek - Santa Clara CA, US
Karthik Bhat - Sunnyvale CA, US
Stefano A. Pescador - Sunnyvale CA, US
David G. Reed - Saratoga CA, US
Brad W. Simeral - San Francisco CA, US
Edward M. Veeser - Austin TX, US
Assignee:
NVIDIA Corporation - Santa Clara CA
International Classification:
G06F 13/00
US Classification:
345538, 345536, 345537
Abstract:
One embodiment of the invention sets forth a technique for compressing and storing display data and optionally compressing and storing cursor data in a memory that is local to a graphics processing unit to reduce the power consumed by a mobile computing device when refreshing the screen. Compressing the display data and optionally the cursor data also reduces the relative cost of the invention by reducing the size of the local memory relative to the size that would be necessary if the display data were stored locally in uncompressed form. Thus, the invention may improve mobile computing device battery life, while keeping additional costs low.

Interleaved N-Way Set-Associative External Cache

View page
US Patent:
20030200395, Oct 23, 2003
Filed:
Apr 22, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/127172
Inventors:
Thomas Wicki - Palo Alto CA, US
Koen Bennebroek - Sunnyvale CA, US
International Classification:
G06F012/00
US Classification:
711/128000, 711/146000
Abstract:
An n-way interleaved set-associative external cache utilizes standard burst memory devices such as DDR (double data rate) memory devices. The interleaved set-associative cache organization scheme is designed to fully utilize burst efficiencies during snoop and invalidation operations. Cache lines are interleaved in such a way that a first burst transfer from the cache to the cache controller brings in a plurality of tags. The contents of the memory level device locations associated with each tag are stored in an alternating pattern in contiguous memory locations.

N-Way Set-Associative External Cache With Standard Ddr Memory Devices

US Patent:
20030200404, Oct 23, 2003
Filed:
Apr 22, 2002
Appl. No.:
10/127173
Inventors:
Thomas Wicki - Palo Alto CA, US
Koen Bennebroek - Sunnyvale CA, US
International Classification:
G06F012/00
US Classification:
711/156000, 711/128000, 711/154000
Abstract:
A method, cache system, and cache controller are provided. A two-way and n-way cache organization scheme are presented as at least two embodiments of a set-associative external cache that utilizes standard burst memory devices such as DDR (double data rate) memory devices. The set-associative cache organization scheme is designed to fully utilize burst efficiencies during snoop and invalidation operations. Cache lines are interleaved in such a way that a first burst transfer from the cache to the cache controller brings in a plurality of tags.
