Title: Digital media splicing system and method
Inventor: ROUJANSKY MICHEL
IPC: H04N21/4402
Filed: 2014-04-23
Abstract: Disclosed is a system and method of inserting or splicing a second stream of digital frames into a primary stream of digital frames, where the primary stream is encoded according to a first format. The approach comprises determining a reference point in the primary stream, determining a section of the primary stream adjacent the reference point and recoding the adjacent section of primary stream such each frame in the recoded version is independent (for example by making the recoded version an I-frame only data stream.) The section of the primary stream is then replaced with the corresponding recoded version and the second stream inserted adjacent to the replaced section in the first stream. By having the recoded version in a format that is not dependent upon preceding and subsequent packets, compressed clips can readily be inserted into or on either side of the recoded version and incorporated into the original compressed stream without needing to decode the compressed clips

Title: Apparatus and method of throttling hardware pre-fetch
Inventor: WILLIAM LEE
IPC: G06F12/0862
Filed: 2015-09-30
Abstract: Hardware based prefetching for processor systems is implemented. A prefetch unit in a cache subsystem allocates a prefetch tracker in response to a demand request for a cache line that missed. Prefetch trackers track a match window of cachelines. In response to subsequent demand requests to consecutive cachelines in the match window, a confidence indicator is increased. In response to further demand misses 327 and a confidence indicator value 325, a prefetch tier 118 is increased 330, which allows the prefetch tracker to initiate prefetch requests for more cachelines. Requests for cachelines that are more than two cachelines apart within a match window for the allocated prefetch tracker decrease the confidence faster than requests for consecutive cachelines increase confidence. An age counter tracks 335 when a last demand request within the match window was received. The prefetch tier can be decreased 338 in response to reduced confidence and increased age.
