Abstract:
A method for camera processing using a camera application programming interface (API) is described. A processor executing the camera API may be configured to receive instructions that specify a use case for a camera pipeline, the use case defining at least one or more processing engines of a plurality of processing engines for processing image data with the camera pipeline, wherein the plurality of processing engines includes one or more of fixed-function image signal processing nodes internal to a camera processor and one or more processing engines external to the camera processor. The processor may be further configured to route image data to the one or more processing engines specified by the instructions, and return the results of processing the image data with the one or more processing engines to the application.
Abstract:
A device comprising a graphics processing unit (GPU) includes a memory and at least one processor. The at least one processor may be configured to: receive a GPU command packet that indicates the GPU may select between a direct rendering mode or a binning rendering mode for a portion of a frame to be rendered by the GPU, determine whether to use the direct rendering mode or the binning rendering mode for the portion of the frame to be rendered by the GPU based on at least one of: information in the received command packet or a state of the GPU, and render the portion of the frame using the determined direct rendering mode or the binning rendering mode.

Abstract:
In an example, a method for rendering graphics data includes receiving a plurality of commands associated with a plurality of render targets, where the plurality of commands are received in an initial order. The method also includes determining an execution order for the plurality of commands including reordering one or more of the plurality of commands in a different order than the initial order based on data dependencies between commands. The method also includes executing the plurality of commands in the determined execution order.
Abstract:
An apparatus configured for graphics processing includes a memory configured to store graphics data, and one or more processors in communication with the memory, the one or more processors configured to output, for display, a plurality of test graphics images, receive input indicative of a perception of a user of the computing device of at least one test graphics image from the plurality of test graphics images, determine at least one parameter modification value and generate a corrected graphics image based at least in part on the at least one parameter modification value.
Abstract:
This disclosure presents techniques and structures for preemption at arbitrary control points in graphics processing. A method of graphics processing may comprise executing commands in a command buffer, the commands operating on data in a read-modify-write memory resource, double buffering the data in the read-modify-write memory resource, such that a first buffer stores original data of the read-modify-write memory resource and a second buffer stores any modified data produced by executing the commands in the command buffer, receiving a request to preempt execution of the commands in the command buffer before completing all commands in the command buffer, and restarting execution of the commands at the start of the command buffer using the original data in the first buffer.
