20090172331 | Securing content for playback - A graphics engine may include a decryption device, a renderer, and a sprite or overlay engine, all connected to a display. A memory may have a protected and non-protected portions in one embodiment. An application may store encrypted content on the non-protected portion of said memory. The decryption device may access the encrypted material, decrypt the material, and provide it to the renderer engine of a graphics engine. The graphics engine may then process the decrypted material using the protected portion of the memory. Only graphics devices can access the protected portion of the memory in at least one mode, preventing access by outside sources. In addition, the protected memory may be stolen memory that is not identified to the operating system, making that stolen memory inaccessible to applications running on the operating system. | 07-02-2009 |

20130298124 | MEMORY ADDRESS RE-MAPPING OF GRAPHICS DATA - A method and apparatus for creating, updating, and using guest physical address (GPA) to host physical address (HPA) shadow translation tables for translating GPAs of graphics data direct memory access (DMA) requests of a computing environment implementing a virtual machine monitor to support virtual machines. The requests may be sent through a render or display path of the computing environment from one or more virtual machines, transparently with respect to the virtual machine monitor. The creating, updating, and using may be performed by a memory controller detecting entries sent to existing global and page directory tables, forking off shadow table entries from the detected entries, and translating GPAs to HPAs for the shadow table entries. | 11-07-2013 |
20140160876 | ADDRESS BIT REMAPPING SCHEME TO REDUCE ACCESS GRANULARITY OF DRAM ACCESSES - One embodiment of the present invention sets forth a method for accessing non-contiguous locations within a DRAM memory page by sending a first column address command to a first DRAM device using a first subset of pins and sending a second column address command to a second DRAM device using a second subset of repurposed pins. One advantage of the disclosed technique is that it requires minimal additional pins, space, and power consumption. Further, sending multiple column address commands allows for increased granularity of DRAM accesses and therefore more efficient use of pins. Thus, the disclosed technique provides a better approach for accessing non-contiguous locations within a DRAM memory page. | 06-12-2014 |
