    Abstract: A graphics processing may include implementing a vertex shader and a pixel shader with a GPU. Vertex parameter values may be compressed with the vertex shader and compressed vertex parameter values may be written to a cache. The pixel shader may access the compressed vertex parameter values that were written to the cache and decompress the compressed vertex parameter values. It is emphasized that this abstract is provided to comply with the rules requiring an abstract that will allow a searcher or other reader to quickly ascertain the subject matter of the technical disclosure. It is submitted with the understanding that it will not be used to interpret or limit the scope or meaning of the claims.

    Abstract: Performance of a legacy application may be characterized for subsequent adjustment of operating parameters when running the legacy application on a new system. The legacy application is run on the legacy system and one or more key performance metrics that must be met when the legacy application is run on the new system are determined along with other performance information useful for later adjustment of operating parameters of the new system when running the legacy application on the new system.

    Abstract: A data processing system includes a GPU and a switching instruction section. The GPU performs in a time-divided manner a process of generating a plurality of pieces of data corresponding to a plurality of applications executed in parallel. In the case where the GPU completes a process of generating one unit of data that is data corresponding to a first application and that is to be handed over to subsequent processing sections, the switching instruction section instructs the GPU to switch to a process of generating an image corresponding to a second application different from the first application.

    Abstract: To facilitate backwards compatibility, a computing device may respond to a call from an application for information regarding a processor on the computing device by returning information regarding a different processor than the processor on the computing device, including one or more of processor model, processor family, cache capabilities, translation lookaside buffer capabilities, processor serial number, processor brand, processor manufacturer, thread/core topology, cache topology, extended features, virtual address size, or physical address size that differs when the processor determines that the application is a legacy device application

    Abstract: Performance of a legacy application may be characterized for subsequent adjustment of operating parameters when running the legacy application on a new system. Performance information for the legacy application is recorded or derived while running the legacy application on the legacy system. One or more performance characteristics for the legacy application running on the legacy system are determined by analyzing the performance information, the one or more performance characteristics including one or more key performance metrics and other performance information. The one or more key performance metrics must be met when the legacy application is run on the new system. The other performance information is useful for later adjustment of operating parameters of the new system when running the legacy application on the new system.

    Abstract: Graphics processing may include implementing a vertex shader and a pixel shader with the GPU. Vertex indices output from a vertex shader may be written to a cache. The vertex indices written to the cache may be accessed with the pixel shader and vertex parameter values associated with the vertex indices may be accessed from a memory unit with the pixel shader.

    Abstract: A graphics processing may include implementing a vertex shader and a pixel shader with a GPU. Vertex parameter values generated by the vertex shader may be stored in a memory. The pixel shader may access the vertex parameter values stored in the memory. Accessing the vertex parameter values may include disabling or bypassing hardware that performs interpolation on vertex parameter values.

    Abstract: Performance of a new system may be optimized to run a legacy application written for a legacy system. Performance information for the legacy application is recorded or derived while running the legacy application on the new system. Performance characteristics for the legacy application running on the new system are determined by analyzing the performance information. The performance characteristics include one or more key performance metrics and other performance information. The key performance metrics must be met when the legacy application is run on the new system. The other performance information is useful for adjusting one or more operating parameters of the new system when running the legacy application on the new system. The one or more operating parameters are adjusted so that the one or more key performance metrics are met.
