Fault-tolerant graphics display engine

A system for implementing fault-tolerant graphics, the system comprising:

• processing hardware of a machine;
• and
• a memory device storing instructions which, when executed by the processing hardware, cause the processing hardware to:
• identify, at the processing hardware, a buffer under-run at a data buffer (DBUF) of a display engine;
• adjust a latency tolerance of the DBUF in response to identifying the buffer under-run;
• determine that the buffer under-run at the DBUF persists after adjusting the latency tolerance;
• determine whether a preset correction limit has been reached;
• if the preset correction limit has not been reached:
• further adjust the latency tolerance of the DBUF;
• and
• if the preset correction limit has been reached:
• remove, from a visual output associated with the display engine, a non-critical display asset, wherein the non-critical display asset is determined not to be mission critical to a function of the machine.

A non-transitory machine-readable medium storing instructions for implementing fault-tolerant graphics which, when executed by processing hardware of a machine, cause the processing hardware to:

• identify, at the processing hardware, a buffer under-run at a data buffer (DBUF) of a display engine;
• adjust a latency tolerance of the DBUF in response to identifying the buffer under-run;
• determine that the buffer under-run at the DBUF persists after adjusting the latency tolerance;
• determine whether a preset correction limit has been reached;
• if the preset correction limit has not been reached:
• further adjust the latency tolerance of the DBUF;
• and
• if the preset correction limit has been reached:
• remove, from a visual output associated with the display engine, a non-critical display asset, wherein the non-critical display asset is determined not to be mission critical to a function of the machine.
