Abstract:
A method and an apparatus for notifying a display driver to update a display with a graphics frame including multiple graphics data rendered separately by multiple graphics processing units (GPUs) substantially concurrently are described. Graphics commands may be received to dispatch to each GPU for rendering corresponding graphics data. The display driver may be notified when each graphics data has been completely rendered respectively by the corresponding GPU.

Abstract:
Among other things, dynamically selecting or configuring one or more hardware resources to render a particular display data includes obtaining a request for rendering display data. The request includes a specification describing a desired rendering process. Based on the specification and the display data, hardware is selected or configured. The display data is rendered using the selected or configured hardware.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus for switching between different video processing modes in an apparatus. In a first mode, minimal processing of the video frames may be performed by the apparatus prior to feeding the frames to a display controller. In a second mode, the apparatus may perform additional rendering of the video frames including compositing of other graphical input with the rendered video frames to generate display frames that may be fed to the display controller. To conserve power, the apparatus may operate in or switch to the first mode when the additional rendering and compositing is not required or when the device is in a low power mode, and operate in or switch to the second mode when the additional rendering and compositing is required to render desired graphical effects.
