摘要： Parallelism in a parallel processing subsystem is exploited in a scalable manner. A problem to be solved can be hierarchically decomposed into at least two levels of sub-problems. Individual threads of program execution are defined to solve the lowest-level sub-problems. The threads are grouped into one or more thread arrays, each of which solves a higher-level sub-problem. The thread arrays are executable by processing cores, each of which can execute at least one thread array at a time. Thread arrays can be grouped into grids of independent thread arrays, which solve still higher-level sub-problems or an entire problem. Thread arrays within a grid, or entire grids, can be distributed across all of the available processing cores as available in a particular system implementation.

摘要： Video filtering using a programmable graphics processor is described. The programmable graphics processor may be programmed to complete a plurality of video filtering operations in a single pass through a fragment-processing pipeline within the programmable graphics processor. Video filtering functions such as deinterlacing, chroma up-sampling, scaling, and deblocking may be performed by the fragment-processing pipeline. The fragment-processing pipeline may be programmed to perform motion adaptive deinterlacing, wherein a spatially variant filter determines, on a pixel basis, whether a “bob”, a “blend”, or a “weave” operation should be used to process an interlaced image.

摘要： Parallel data processing systems and methods use cooperative thread arrays (CTAs), i.e., groups of multiple threads that concurrently execute the same program on an input data set to produce an output data set. Each thread in a CTA has a unique identifier (thread ID) that can be assigned at thread launch time. The thread ID controls various aspects of the thread's processing behavior such as the portion of the input data set to be processed by each thread, the portion of an output data set to be produced by each thread, and/or sharing of intermediate results among threads. Mechanisms for loading and launching CTAs in a representative processing core and for synchronizing threads within a CTA are also described.

摘要： A system and method for transitions a computing system between operating modes that have different power consumption characteristics. When a system management unit (SMU) determines that the computing system is in a low activity state, the SMU transitions the central processing unit (CPU) into a low power operating mode after the CPU stores critical operating state of the CPU in a memory. The SMU then intercepts and processes interrupts intended for the CPU, modifying a copy of the critical operating state. This effectively extends the time during which the CPU stays in lower power mode. When the SMU determines that the computing system exits a low activity state, the copy of the critical operating state is stored in the memory and the SMU transitions the CPU into a high power operating mode using the modified critical operating state.
摘要翻译：一种用于在具有不同功耗特性的操作模式之间转换计算系统的系统和方法。当系统管理单元（SMU）确定计算系统处于低活动状态时，在CPU将CPU的临界操作状态存储在存储器中之后，SMU将中央处理单元（CPU）转换为低功耗操作模式。然后，SMU拦截并处理用于CPU的中断，修改关键操作状态的副本。这有效地延长了CPU处于较低功耗模式的时间。当SMU确定计算系统退出低活动状态时，关键操作状态的副本存储在存储器中，并且SMU使用修改的关键操作状态将CPU转换为高功率操作模式。
