Abstract: Embodiments of an apparatus and method are disclosed that may allow for arbitrating multiple read requests to fetch pixel data from a memory. The apparatus may include a first and a second processing pipeline, and a control unit. Each of the processing pipelines may be configured to generate a plurality of read requests to fetch a respective one of a plurality of portions of stored pixel data. The control unit may be configured to determine a priority for each read request dependent upon display coordinates of one or more pixels corresponding to each of the plurality of portions of stored pixel data, and determine an order for the plurality of read requests dependent upon the determined priority for each read request.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus for configuring multiple components of a subsystem are described. The configuration memory of each of a plurality of components coupled to an interconnect includes a global configuration portion. The configuration memory of one of the components may be designated as a master global configuration for all of the components. A module coupled to the interconnect may receive writes to the components from a configuration source. For each write, the module may decode the write to determine addressing information and check to see if the write is addressed to the master global configuration. If the write is addressed to the master global configuration, the module broadcasts the write to the global configuration portion of each of the components via the interconnect. If the write is not addressed to the master global configuration, the module forwards the write to the appropriate component via the interconnect.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a memory controller includes multiple ports. Each port may be dedicated to a different type of traffic. In an embodiment, quality of service (QoS) parameters may be defined for the traffic types, and different traffic types may have different QoS parameter definitions. The memory controller may be configured to schedule operations received on the different ports based on the QoS parameters. In an embodiment, the memory controller may support upgrade of the QoS parameters when subsequent operations are received that have higher QoS parameters, via sideband request, and/or via aging of operations. In an embodiment, the memory controller is configured to reduce emphasis on QoS parameters and increase emphasis on memory bandwidth optimization as operations flow through the memory controller pipeline.

Abstract: An electronic device may include a stereoscopic display that is configured to display three-dimensional content for a viewer. The stereoscopic display may include a lenticular lens film with lenticular lenses that extend across the length of the display and may be referred to as a lenticular display. The lenticular display may have convex curvature. The lenticular display may include a color filter layer with color filters and an opaque masking layer. The color filter layer may be interposed between the lenticular lens film and an array of display pixels for the display. The color filter layer may mitigate ghost image artifacts and reflections of ambient light. Microlenses may be included between the lenticular lens film and the array of display pixels to improve the efficiency of the display. The display may include a Fresnel lens layer. The lenticular lens film may include lenticular lenses having different shapes.

Abstract: An electronic device may include a lenticular display. The lenticular display may have a lenticular lens film formed over an array of pixels. The lenticular lenses may be configured to enable stereoscopic viewing of the display such that a viewer perceives three-dimensional images. The display may render different content layers that present different classes of content. The different classes of content may have different characteristics. As an example, a first class of content may be static content whereas a second class of content may be dynamic content. The different characteristics of each class of content may be leveraged to use a hybrid approach for content processing. The hybrid content processing may take advantage of different layers needing to be updated at different frequencies and may take advantage of sparse content in some of the layers.

Abstract: Systems and methods for determining priorities of pixel fetch requests of separate requestors in a display control unit. The distance between the oldest pixel in an output buffer and the output equivalent coordinate of the oldest outstanding source pixel read request for each requestor in the display control unit is calculated. Then, a priority is assigned to each requestor based on this calculated distance. If a given requestor lags behind the other requestors based on a comparison of the distance between the oldest pixel and the output equivalent coordinate of the oldest outstanding source pixel read, then source pixel fetch requests for this given requestor are given a higher priority than source pixel fetch requests for the other requestors.

Abstract: Techniques are disclosed relating to power management within an integrated circuit. In one embodiment, a display buffer receives image data through a data transfer interconnect. A data transfer interconnect is powered down based on the received image data being greater than a threshold amount of data. The display buffer transmits at least a portion of the image data to one or more outputs, and in response to the transmitting, the data transfer interconnect is powered up. In some embodiments, the display buffer includes a plurality of line buffers, each configured to store a respective image source line. In such an embodiment, a display pipe configured to render images to be displayed includes the display buffer, and the powering down is performed in response to the received image data including two or more image source lines.
