Title: Method of and apparatus for displaying an output surface in data processing systems
Inventor: CROXFORD DAREN
IPC: G09G5/393
Filed: 2013-12-11
Abstract: A compositing display controller 20 provides an output frame 23 to a display for display by sending respective output surface regions 21, 21a that together form the output frame. Each respective region 24 of the output surface is generated from a respective region or regions of one or more input surfaces, to the display. When a new version of an output surface region is generated, the display controller determines whether the output surface region is unlikely to change or has been unchanged for a period, and if it has, then stores the generated output surface region in a frame buffer 22. Then, for the subsequent frame, checks are performed to see if the output surface region could have changed. If there is no change the stored version of the output surface region is reused, but if there is a change in the output surface region, the output surface region is regenerated. The display controller can provide a hybrid window compositing system that selects between frame buffer composition and direct composition which reduces bandwidth.

Title: Method of and apparatus for processing graphics
Inventor: CHRISTIAN VIK GRØVDAL
IPC: G06T15/40
Filed: 2015-06-19
Abstract: A graphics processing system, e.g. a tile-based system, generates a render output by dividing it into a plurality of larger patches, each of which encompass a set of smaller patches. A large patch is tested against a first primitive to be processed. When a primitive is found to completely cover a larger patch, depth function data (e.g. data representing the values of coefficients of a depth plane equation) for that primitive is stored (e.g. in an entry 23 of a depth buffer 5) in respect of that largest patch position. When a subsequently processed primitive is found to cover at least partially the larger patch, and when depth function data is stored for the larger patch, the stored depth function data (e.g. stored in the buffer 5) is used to calculate depth range values for smaller patches that the larger patch encompasses. The depth function data for the larger patch stored in entry 23 is then marked as invalid in respect of each of the smaller patches that were determined to be at least partially covered by the second primitive.
