Title: Intermediate proxy server caching buffer searched with key (URI hash)
Inventor: TODD DARREN RICHARD
IPC: G06F17/30
Filed: 2013-01-29
Abstract: Client C1 requests a resource from server O1 via proxy server 102, preferably using a URI (uniform resource identifier). The data flow associated with the resource is deemed to be a channel 115 and this channel is identified with a key. Preferably the key is a hash of the resource URI. The channel may be cached in buffer B4 in memory 110. Preferably the key is stored in table T1 with a pointer to buffer B4. If client C2 requests the same resource table T1 is interrogated using a key derived from the resource identifier (eg. URI). If a match is found the resource is delivered from the buffer, otherwise it is delivered from the server O1. Multiple resources/channels may be buffered. Inactive resources/channels may be deleted from the buffer. Different segments of a resource/channel may be delivered to different clients simultaneously. The memory 110 may be volatile.

Title: Compressing a list of primitives in a computer graphics system from a tessellated patch of surface data
Inventor: FISHWICK STEVEN
IPC: G06T9/00
Filed: 2012-03-08
Abstract: A method and apparatus are provided for compressing a list of primitives in a computer graphics system from a tessellated patch of surface data. Uncompressed domain point indices 2410 are received and stored in an index buffer 2420. The domain point index for the next primitive in the list is compared 2430 with the domain point indices stored in the buffer to determine any matches. The domain point indices of the next primitive are stored in the buffer or, where a match was found, a reference to the position of the matched index. The step of storing the domain point indices in the buffer 2430 includes the storage of a further predicted domain point index which is computed from the domain point indices stored in the buffer. Compressed domain point indices 2490 for the tessellated patch are then output from the buffer. This application specifically relates to the domain point index value which may be split into a base identifier as an offset from that base position. The base identifier comprises a row number for point or line primitives or a ring/edge number for triangular primitives.
