Application: Caching apparatus, driver apparatus, transcoding apparatus and corresponding devices, methods and computer programs (Patent ID: US20240212258A1)

The patent filed by Intel Corp. relates to a caching apparatus designed to communicate with cloud gaming instances, obtain requests for cached transcoded versions of textures used in the gaming instances, and provide these cached versions to enhance gaming performance. The processing circuitry of the caching apparatus is responsible for caching the transcoded textures, ensuring compatibility with the graphics processing unit of the hosting computer system, and responding to requests based on identifiers and desired formats. Additionally, the apparatus can obtain information on games being executed in the cloud gaming instances to optimize caching and transcoding processes.

Furthermore, the patent includes claims for a driver apparatus that interacts with the caching apparatus to load transcoded textures for games in cloud gaming instances, ensuring compatibility with the graphics processing unit and providing driver functionality in user space. Additionally, a transcoding apparatus is described, which transcodes game textures for cloud gaming instances, responds to requests for transcoded versions from the caching apparatus, and utilizes various processing units for efficient transcoding. Overall, the patent focuses on improving gaming performance in cloud environments through efficient caching, transcoding, and loading of textures.
