Abstract:
1. A method for use in a system for displaying an image frame from a plurality of compressed supertile frames, comprising: creating, using a control processor, one or more compressed supertile frames from a plurality of tiles read from a system memory, wherein the tile frames correspond to an image to be generated; processing, using a plurality of graphics processing units, the one or more compressed supertile frames, wherein each graphics processing unit processes the one or more compressed supertile frames allocated to the graphics processing unit; reading, using a supertile frame combiner, the compressed supertile frames and expanding each of the compressed supertile frames to generate an expanded supertile frame, wherein the expanded supertile frame is generated at each graphics processing unit and the expanded supertile frame is created for each compressed supertile frame and contains blank tiles for one or more tiles for each tile not allocated to the graphics processing unit; combining, using the supertile frame combiner, the expanded supertile frames to generate an image frame; and displaying the generated image frame on a display.
