VIDEO DECODING IMPLEMENTATIONS FOR A GRAPHICS PROCESSING UNIT - A simplified explanation of the abstract
- This abstract for appeared for US patent application number 18214365 Titled 'VIDEO DECODING IMPLEMENTATIONS FOR A GRAPHICS PROCESSING UNIT'
Simplified Explanation
The abstract describes various innovations in video decoding for multithreading and GPU implementations. These innovations include improvements in layered data structures, picture extent discovery, task scheduling, and picture command queue for multithreaded decoding. For GPU implementation, innovations include inverse transforms, inverse quantization, fractional interpolation, intra prediction using waves, loop filtering using waves, memory usage, and performance-adaptive loop filtering. Other areas of innovation mentioned are error handling and recovery, determination of neighbor availability, CABAC decoding, computation of collocated information, reduction of memory consumption, implementation of trick play modes, and picture dropping for quality adjustment.
Original Abstract Submitted
Video decoding innovations for multithreading implementations and graphics processor unit (“GPU”) implementations are described. For example, for multithreaded decoding, a decoder uses innovations in the areas of layered data structures, picture extent discovery, a picture command queue, and/or task scheduling for multithreading. Or, for a GPU implementation, a decoder uses innovations in the areas of inverse transforms, inverse quantization, fractional interpolation, intra prediction using waves, loop filtering using waves, memory usage and/or performance-adaptive loop filtering. Innovations are also described in the areas of error handling and recovery, determination of neighbor availability for operations such as context modeling and intra prediction, CABAC decoding, computation of collocated information for direct mode macroblocks in B slices, reduction of memory consumption, implementation of trick play modes, and picture dropping for quality adjustment.
