Title: Gpu rendering to system memory
Inventor: RUBINSTEIN OREN
IPC: G09G5/39
Filed: 2005-04-26
Abstract: A graphics processing subsystem uses system memory as its graphics memory for rendering and scanout of images. To prevent deadlock of the data bus, the graphics processing subsystem may use an alternate virtual channel of the data bus to access additional data from system memory needed to complete a write operation of a first data. In communicating with the system memory, a data packet including extended byte enable information allows the graphics processing subsystem to write large quantities of data with arbitrary byte masking to system memory. To leverage the high degree of two-dimensional locality of rendered image data, the graphics processing subsystem arranges image data in a tiled format in system memory. A tile translation unit converts image data virtual addresses to corresponding system memory addresses. The graphics processing subsystem reads image data from system memory and converts it into a display signal.

Abstract: A method of controlling the instability in fluid film bearings by using a magnetic bearing in combination with a fluid film bearing (whether it is a cylindrical journal bearing, an elliptic bearing, an offset-half bearing, a multi-lobe bearing, foil bearing or a tilting-pad bearing, does not really matter), wherein the fluid film bearing serves as the primary load carrying bearing and the magnetic bearing controls the instability of the fluid film bearing. This efficient combination results in bearings that can be used at high speeds without having neither stability nor reliability problems. An alternative method of controlling the instability in fluid film bearings is to disturb the flow in the axial direction, for example, a sleeve (journal) bearing can be manufactured such that the bearing axis is skewed with the shaft axis or a variable geometry bearing can be manufactured to allow for bearing angular misalignment.
