When performing a sequence of rendering jobs, rendering tasks for separate rendering jobs are permitted to overlap within the graphics processor's processing (shader) cores. A record is maintained of which rendering tasks are currently being processed by the graphics processor's processing (shader) cores which record can then be used to enforce any data (processing) dependencies between different rendering jobs.

Graphics processing

Example methods, apparatuses, and/or articles of manufacture are disclosed that may implement, in whole or in part, techniques to process portions of an image frame according to a level of diminished signal information. Portions of an image frame experiencing diminished signal information may be sampled a lower rate/more sparsely to reduce impacts to downstream image processing resources.

System, devices and/or processes for adaptive image resolution scaling

A processing unit is provided which comprises volatile storage for storing machine learning data in binary representation, and a data processing engine communicatively coupled to the volatile storage. The processing unit is configured to selectively invert the bit values in binary representations of portions of the machine learning data when performing storage operations using the volatile storage. A computer-implemented method, and non-transitory computer-readable storage medium comprising instructions for executing the method are also provided. The method comprises receiving a request to perform a storage operation on the volatile storage using the machine learning data and performing the storage operation, including, selecting a portion of the machine learning data and inverting bit values in a binary representation of the selected portion. A computer-implemented method comprising receiving a request to store machine learning data on volatile storage and storing the machine learning data is also provided. Storing the machine learning data includes operating on at least a portion of the machine learning data to prioritize one of two potential bit values.

Selective bit inversion in storage operations for machine learning

There is provided a data processing apparatus for performing machine learning. The data processing apparatus includes convolution circuitry for convolving a plurality of neighbouring regions of input data using a kernel to produce convolution outputs. Max-pooling circuitry determines and selects the largest of the convolution outputs as a pooled output and prediction circuitry performs a size prediction of the convolution outputs based on the neighbouring regions, wherein the size prediction is performed prior to the max-pooling circuitry determining the largest of the convolution outputs and adjusts a behaviour of the convolution circuitry based on the size prediction.

Convolution size prediction to reduce calculations

Briefly, example methods, apparatuses, and/or articles of manufacture are disclosed that may be implemented, in whole or in part, using one or more processing devices to facilitate and/or support one or more operations and/or techniques for authenticating an identity of a subject. In particular, some embodiments are directed to techniques for authentication of an identity of a subject as being an identity of a particular unique individual based, at least in part, on involuntary responses by the subject to sensory stimuli.

Electronic authentication system, device and process

A data processor is disclosed in which groups of execution threads comprising a thread group can execute a set of instructions in lockstep, and in which a plurality of execution lanes can perform processing operations for the execution threads. In response to an execution thread issuing circuit determining whether a portion of active threads of a first thread group and a portion of active threads of a second thread group use different execution lanes of the plurality of execution lanes, the execution thread issuing circuit issuing both the portion of active threads of a first thread group and a portion of active threads of a second thread group for execution. This can have the effect of increasing data processor efficiency, thereby increasing throughput and reducing latency.

Systems, apparatuses, devices and methods for body pose tracking are provided that are simple, inexpensive, flexible, accurate and robust. One body pose tracking system includes a mobile device, such as a smartphone, and active or passive marker bands. Images and depth information captured by the smartphone may be analyzed using an Inverse Kinematic (IK) model, and, in certain cases, the IK model solution may be augmented by machine learning. Other body pose tracking systems include an augmented-reality/virtual-reality (AR/VR) head-mounted-display (HMD) and/or AR/VR glasses rather than a smartphone. An AR/VR HMD device may include a depth sensor and multiple environment-facing cameras.

A computer-implemented method for an augmented-reality system is provided. The computer-implemented method comprises obtaining sensed data, representing an environment in which the AR system is located, determining that the AR system is in a location associated with a first authority characteristic, and controlling access to the sensed data for one or more applications operating in the AR system. Each of the one or more applications is associated with a respective authority characteristic. Controlling access to the sensed data for a said application is performed in dependence on the first authority characteristic and a respective authority characteristic associated with the said application.

An information processing apparatus is described for processing a workload. The information processing apparatus comprises a processor and a memory element connected to the processor via a data link. In advance of processing a workload, the information processing apparatus estimates an access time required to transfer an amount of the workload that is to be transferred from the external memory element to the processor, and estimates a processing time for the processor to process the workload. A processing rate characteristic of the processor and/or a data transfer rate between the memory and the processor is set in dependence upon the estimated processing time and estimated access time. Methods for varying a quality of service (QoS) value of requests to the external memory element are also described.
