Patent ID: 7570268

Claim:
A method for improving efficiency of data transmission to a graphics processor when the data that requires processing by the graphics processor includes a first portion exhibiting a temporal redundancy from a first time to a second time and a second portion not exhibiting the temporal redundancy comprising: creating a first data container, the first container storing the first portion of the data; creating a second data container, the second container storing the second portion of the data; configuring a header associated with at least one of the first and second data containers, the header indicating a temporal redundancy relation with respect to the first and second portions of the data; transmitting the first and second data containers to a graphics processor, wherein the graphics processor is configured to: perform processing of the data in the data containers when the header does not indicate a relation between the first and second data containers; when the header does indicate a relation between the first and second data containers: load the first and second data portions into a register space to represent a temporal correlation of the data; and execute the processing of the data using the representation in the register space.
