An apparatus and method for graphics state management. The apparatus for graphics state management includes a state version manager configured to manage changes in graphics state versions by allocating or deallocating a memory for each of graphics states based on a page of a predetermined size, wherein the state version manager allocates or deallocates pages for each of the graphics state versions by using a string of binary values that indicates the respective reference states of each of those pages.

Apparatus and method for graphics state management

A processor and a computing system include a processor core and a buffer memory to read word data from a memory. The read word data includes first byte data read by the processor core from the memory. The buffer memory also stores the read word data, and determines whether second byte data requested by the processor core is stored in the buffer memory.

Processor and computer system with buffer memory

A format conversion apparatus which converts image data of a band interleave format into image data of a band separate format is provided. The apparatus includes a memory which stores image data of a band interleave format; and a converting module which reads the memory by increasing a read address of the memory for each stride, and converts the image data of the band interleave format into image data of a band separate format.

Format conversion apparatus from band interleave format to band separate format

A method of sharing a coarse grained array and a processor using the method is provided. A processor includes a first processor core including a plurality of first functional units which execute a first instruction set, a second processor core including a plurality of second functional units which execute a second instruction set, and a coarse grained array including a plurality of third functional units which execute a portion of instructions of the first instruction set and/or the second instruction set, instead of the first processor core and/or the second processor core.
