An apparatus for encoding and decoding video receives a request to decode a current video frame. The apparatus determines whether encoding is within a threshold for a previous video frame. Additionally, the apparatus waits for the encoding to start if the encoding is within the threshold. Further, the apparatus provides a signal to begin encoding the current video frame. Also, the apparatus submits a decode workload to a graphics processor unit (GPU) for the current video frame. The apparatus additionally submits, in parallel with submitting the decode workload to the GPU, an encode workload to the GPU for the previous video frame.

Encoding and decoding video

Independent workloads may be grouped together into a single super workload. This super workload is dispatched to a single context hardware system that does not run an operating system. This effectively creates a multi-context system out of a single context hardware processor.

Systems, apparatus, articles, and methods are described including operations to transpose image data between a linear-type storage format and a Y-tiled-type storage format.

Transpose of image data between a linear and a Y-tiled storage format

Various embodiments are generally directed to an apparatus, method and other techniques for dividing a frame comprising pixels into a number of macroblocks, each macroblock comprising a number of pixels within four macroblock boundaries. Various embodiments may also include creating at least two regions having a plurality of macroblocks by dividing the frame along macroblock boundaries and generating wave front groups based on the macroblocks in each region, each wave front group from each region comprising one or more macroblocks to process in parallel.

Techniques for generating wave front groups for parallel processing a video frame by a video encoder

Techniques for managing the assignment of transcoding tasks to transcoding nodes in a transcoding system are described. In one embodiment, for example, an apparatus may comprise circuitry and a transcoding management module for execution on the circuitry to assign a transcoding task to one of a set of transcoding nodes based on a set of task characteristics of the transcoding task and a set of efficiency values for the set of transcoding nodes, each of the set of efficiency values corresponding to a respective one of the set of transcoding nodes. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Systems, apparatus, articles, and methods are described including operations for selectively adjusting picture quality features of a display based at least in part on whether a user can perceive a loss in video quality and/or on power supply data.

Selective adjustment of picture quality features of a display

Described herein are a method and an apparatus for reducing power consumption of memories by monitoring the power states of the memories via an operating system. The method comprises reading counter values corresponding to power states of each memory of a plurality memories; computing a power state usage corresponding to the power states of each memory of the plurality, the computing based on the counter values; determining whether the power state usage exceeds a predetermined threshold usage; and adjusting current and future usage of each memory of the plurality in response to determining that the power state usage exceeds the predetermined threshold usage.
