    Display Stream Compression/DSC - How does it work?

    Posted: 09 Dec 2021 07:12 AM PST

    Apologies in advance if this isn't the correct subreddit, but I'm genuinely unsure where else to ask this sort of a question.

    I've seen DSC be bought up a lot online about how it is visually lossless - that the image quality between it and the uncompressed image should be almost impossible to tell apart. But I've been having a hard time finding information about how it actually works. Finding information about this online, simply, seems rather opaque.

    I was curious if some people on this subreddit could help clarify how it works for me. Does it work like how ADPCM works for audio, where the delta tables involved change depending on the previous samples in the chain, and the future samples in the chain? Or does it work something completely and totally different to that concept? As far as I've been able to figure out in my head, the ADPCM approach seems the most straightforward - but I'm also not the IT industry's greatest minds, thinkers, and engineers.

    I'd love if someone could shed some light for me on how Display Stream Compression actually works.

    And, again, apologies in advance if this is the wrong subreddit. I'd love to be directed to the correct one to ask this question if this is the incorrect one!

    Copying framebuffer from discrete GPU to iGPU, is this something new to Alder Lake or has this always been possible?

    Posted: 08 Dec 2021 02:17 PM PST

    The monitor I use for work/FPS is usually connected to my 12700k's iGPU, and I move it to my 3080 when using it for gaming (3080's ports are usually occupied by other screens). Today, I fired up Halo Infinite but forgot to switch my monitor's cable over to the 3080. Much to my surprise, I was still getting around 100fps at 1440p Ultra.

    Task manager was showing my 3080 at 85-90% utilization, with 50% copy utilization. The iGPU was sitting at roughly 30% utilization. The 3080 was set as the selected adapter within the game. So it appears that the 3080 was rendering the game, and the framebuffer was being copied from the 3080 to the iGPU.

    I had no idea this was possible - you always see stories of people new to PC gaming facepalming after they realize they had their monitor plugged into their motherboard instead of their discrete GPU (although I'm assuming this framebuffer copying is how it must work on gaming laptops). Is this a new capability with Alder Lake, or has this always been possible?

    Could raytracing acceleration help digital cameras? Are there other applications that aren't as obvious or haven't been talked about much?

    Posted: 08 Dec 2021 08:47 AM PST

    I already know a lot of phones with built-in cameras have additional hardware and software to help them process images and make pictures look better. Image processors and media processors and video processors and DSPs and all sorts of stuff.

    But one thing I've been thinking about for a while is that. Like, a digital camera works basically because a sensor receives light, and photons. All the photons that hit the sensor at a given moment in time are essentially the input that's used to make the picture or image.

    My understanding of raytracing, as a technique, is that it's all about simulating the way light works, and the way photons work, the way they move through a scene.

    So, like, it seems to me like raytracing hardware and software and the mathematics and techniques there could potentially be useful to further improve camera technology?

    Or maybe like. Use raytracing tech to better make "3D" images possibly? Based on a given image, the raytracing technology could calculate backwards and guesstimate all the light used to make that image and everything it bounced off of.

    I apologize in advance if this is a stupid question.
