| 20080309673 | RASTERIZING DEVICE - A rasterizing device is provided with a first storage area capable of storing a downloaded DL object, and a rasterizer that creates bit-mapped data in band units by rasterizing data. With respect to a predetermined band in which a predetermined DL object is to be included, the rasterizer performs following processes: | 12-18-2008 |
| 20090079749 | EMITTING RASTER AND VECTOR CONTENT FROM A SINGLE SOFTWARE COMPONENT - Technologies are described herein for emitting raster and vector content from a single software component. An application program maintains an in-memory representation of a document in an intermediate format. When the application program needs to render the document, it determines whether the target device is a raster or a vector device. The application program then utilizes a single software component to render the document for the target device. The application program provides an instruction to the software component as to whether the in-memory representation should be rendered as vector content or as raster content. In response to receiving the instruction, the software component retrieves the in-memory representation and renders it according to the instruction received from the application program. The rendered content is then provided to the target device. | 03-26-2009 |
| 20090244078 | METHOD AND APPARATUS FOR OBTAINING IMAGES BY RASTER SCANNING CHARGED PARTICLE BEAM OVER PATTERNED SUBSTRATE ON A CONTINUOUS MODE STAGE - A method of raster scanning a sample on a continuously moving stage for charged-particle beam imaging said sample is disclosed. The method includes line scanning a charged-particle beam across a surface of the sample repeatedly to form on the surface at least one 2-dimensional line array composed of scan lines lying adjacent to each other. When each line scan is to be performed, the charged-particle beam is shifted, along the stage-moving direction, by an extra predefined distance at least equal to a distance the stage has traveled during a time period from the beginning of the first line scan of the first formed line array to the beginning of the current line scan (to be performed) of the current line array (to be formed). | 10-01-2009 |
| 20090251475 | FRAMEWORK TO INTEGRATE AND ABSTRACT PROCESSING OF MULTIPLE HARDWARE DOMAINS, DATA TYPES AND FORMAT - A portable development and execution framework for processing media objects. The framework involves: accepting an instruction to perform a media processing function; accepting a media object to be associated with the media processing function; wrapping the media object with an attribute that specifies a type and format of the media object, and a hardware domain associated with the media object; and causing an execution domain to perform the media processing function on the media object. The instruction to perform the media processing function is expressed in a form that is independent of the hardware domain associated with the media object, and may also be independent of the type and format of the media object. The media object may be an image, and the media processing function may include an image processing function performed on a GPU. | 10-08-2009 |
| 20140168245 | TECHNIQUE FOR PERFORMING MEMORY ACCESS OPERATIONS VIA TEXTURE HARDWARE - A texture processing pipeline can be configured to service memory access requests that represent texture data access operations or generic data access operations. When the texture processing pipeline receives a memory access request that represents a texture data access operation, the texture processing pipeline may retrieve texture data based on texture coordinates. When the memory access request represents a generic data access operation, the texture pipeline extracts a virtual address from the memory access request and then retrieves data based on the virtual address. The texture processing pipeline is also configured to cache generic data retrieved on behalf of a group of threads and to then invalidate that generic data when the group of threads exits. | 06-19-2014 |
| 20140176586 | MULTI-MODE MEMORY ACCESS TECHNIQUES FOR PERFORMING GRAPHICS PROCESSING UNIT-BASED MEMORY TRANSFER OPERATIONS - This disclosure describes techniques for performing memory transfer operations with a graphics processing unit (GPU) based on a selectable memory transfer mode, and techniques for selecting a memory transfer mode for performing all or part of a memory transfer operation with a GPU. In some examples, the techniques of this disclosure may include selecting a memory transfer mode for performing at least part of a memory transfer operation, and performing, with a GPU, the memory transfer operation based on the selected memory transfer mode. The memory transfer mode may be selected from a set of at least two different memory transfer modes that includes an interleave memory transfer mode and a sequential memory transfer mode. The techniques of this disclosure may be used to improve the performance of GPU-assisted memory transfer operations. | 06-26-2014 |
| 20140218381 | IMAGE ACCESS METHOD AND IMAGE ACCESS APPARATUS - An image access method applicable to an image access device is provided. The method includes: providing a plurality of codes that respectively represent a plurality of image sources; determining a plurality of sets of access settings according to a pixel format arrangement, each set of access setting corresponding to a code arrangement combination composed of the codes; and sequentially accessing data of the image sources by the image access apparatus according to the code arrangement combinations corresponding to the access settings. | 08-07-2014 |
