Advanced Micro Devices had four patents in gaming during Q1 2024. AMD’s patents in Q1 2024 focus on resource use orchestration for multiple application instances, specifically for graphics processing units, and an approach for a gaming overlay application to provide automatic in-game subtitles and closed captions for video game applications. The resource orchestration technique divides time intervals into slots for accessing resources, assigning containers to slots based on a disbursement algorithm, and providing signal offsets for accessing resources in a predetermined order. The gaming overlay application processes audio streams to generate subtitles, determines display positions, and overlays subtitles on video streams during gameplay.

Application: Resource use orchestration for multiple application instances (Patent ID: US20240100422A1)
The patent filed by Advanced Micro Devices Inc. describes a method and system for orchestrating access to a resource, such as a graphics processing unit, for multiple application instances. The technique involves dividing a time interval into multiple time slots, assigning each container to a time slot based on a disbursement algorithm, and providing signal offsets to each container to control access to the resource in a predetermined order. The disbursement algorithm evenly spaces the containers over the time interval, and the signal offsets specify an offset from a baseline signal, allowing for sequential submission of commands to the resource.
Furthermore, the system includes a container orchestrator that manages access to the resource for the application by providing signal offsets to each container, ensuring they access the resource in a specific order. The resource, in this case, is a graphics processing unit, and the application can be a gaming application. The signal offsets enable the containers to submit render commands to the graphics processing unit sequentially, with the resource executing these commands in real-time. Overall, the method and system optimize resource utilization and access for multiple application instances, particularly in scenarios where a graphics processing unit is involved in rendering tasks.
