Methods for allocating information to system resources using improved mapping

A computer-implemented method of mapping information to a number of resource items in a computer system, wherein the information comprises pixel data for graphics processing, the method comprising:

• combining the number of resource items into sets having a number of elements of powers of n;
• mapping a set of resource items to a lattice in a coordinate space where the set of resource items is used to process a translated tile, wherein a resource item comprises hardware and software for a graphics data rendering process, comprising processing pipelines, cache lines, and memory channels;
• tiling the coordinate space with the translated tile;
• defining a lattice mapping subclass, where a resource item is mapped to a coordinate space;
• and
• mapping the set of resource items to aspects of the translated tile using a dyadic.

A non-transitory computer-readable medium having stored thereon instructions which, when executed, map information to a number of resource items in a computer system, wherein the information comprises pixel data for graphics processing, including:

• defining a first vector in a coordinate space;
• defining a second vector in the coordinate space;
• defining a lattice as a combination of the first and second vectors;
• defining a set of points including a reference point in the coordinate space;
• tiling the coordinate space with translations of the set of points;
• defining a lattice mapping subclass, where a resource item is mapped to a coordinate space;
• and
• mapping the translations of the set of points to a resource item, wherein a resource item comprises hardware and software for a graphics data rendering process, comprising processing pipelines, cache lines, and memory channels.

A method of mapping information to a number of resource items in a graphics processing system, the method comprising:

• the graphics processing system defining a first vector in a coordinate space;
• the graphics processing system defining a second vector in the coordinate space;
• the graphics processing system defining a lattice as a combination of the first and second vectors;
• the graphics processing system defining a lattice mapping subclass, where a resource item (r) is mapped to a coordinate space, including,
• r=(x′ mod k)*1+(y′ mod 1), where (k*1) is the number of resource items;
• x′=M*(x/2n), M=a 2×2 matrix, n is an integer;
• and
• y′=M*(y/2m), m is an integer;
• the graphics processing system defining a set of points including a reference point in the coordinate space;
• the graphics processing system tiling the coordinate space with translations of the set of points;
• and
• the graphics processing system mapping the translations of the set of points to a resource item.
