DisplayPort interface:

- Allows connection of many/several displays in a (daisy-chain).

- Uses a packet-based protocol.

- In the optionally dual mode, it allows the transmission of the HDMI signals using the DisplayPort cable without external adapters.

Select the most appropriate value for bandwidth on a channel in case of 2.0 version of DisplayPort interface:

- 20 Gbits/s

- 8 Gbits/s

- 32 Gbits/s

- 5 Gbits/s

Compared to interfaces based on Low Voltage Differential Signaling (LVDS) protocol, the interface Embedded DisplayPort:

- Allows reducing the energy consumption.

- Allows using the auxiliary channel for control functions of backlight.

- Allows increasing the bit rate, but it requires a large number of connections.

CUDA architecture:

- Allows the access to a shared memory by every thread from a block of threads.

- Allows sharing a part of GPU memory with the principal processor (CPU).

- Thread blocks are planned/scheduled for execution in any order on any number of available processing cores.

- Every block of threads has a shared memory which is accessible for all threads from that block of threads, but it is not accessible to other blocks.

- Every thread from a grid of thread blocks has access to a global memory.

- Represents a platform and a programming model that can be used for all GPU circuits.

- Each kernel is executed on the GPU by N threads.

Unified Memory of CUDA:

- Allows sharing of a part of the GPU memory with the CPU, as well as the GPU.

- Cannot be accessed simultaneously by the CPU and GPU.

- It is handled by the system, without any actual data transfers.

- Allows execution time reduction on the GPU executed programs.

In the CUDA architecture, each kernel:

- Is executed on the CPU.

- Is executed on the GPU by N threads.

- Is executed on the GPU by one thread.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface):

- Allows using a cable that includes an Ethernet HDMI channel, by which 2 devices can share an Internet connection.

- Allows using a cable with a USB Type C connector for connecting to a display.

- Contains a serial bus that allows transmission of remote control codes, if the remote control used is programmed with the type of the connected devices.

- It does NOT require a separated clock signal, the synchronization signal being included in the data flux/array.

HDMI (High-Definition Multimedia Interface):

- Allows using an audio return channel, on which audio data could be transmitted from a TV to an audio/video receiver.

- Includes the synchronization information in the serial data stream.

- Uses 8b/10b codification for video data, control bits and auxiliary data.

The Consumer Electronics Control (CEC) feature of HDMI enables the user to control several devices with a single remote:

- By automatically detecting the brand of each connected device.

- By programming the remote with the brand information of connected devices.

- By using commands that are not manufacturer-specific.

GDDR6 memory:

- Uses data lines training technique, which consists in phase alignment between data signals and their writing clock signal.

- Uses commands/addresses bus inversion technique for reducing the power/energy consumption.

- Uses separate clock signals for commands and addresses.

Circuitele GPU conțin diferite tipuri de nuclee de umbrire, cum sunt:

- Nuclee de umbrire geometrică, care pot modifica topologia primitivelor pe care le recepționează ca intrări.

- Nuclee de umbrire pentru varfuri, care pot crea sau șterge varfuri ale obiectelor 3D.

- Nuclee de umbrire pentru calcule, care pun la dispoziție facilități pentru o programare paralelă mai eficienta.

Compared to CPU architecture, at GPU architecture:

- Synchronization between parallel threads is simpler.

- The latency of every processing core is much higher than the latency of a CPU core.

- Size of the cache memory is reduced.

- Has a much bigger number of processing cores.

- Uses simpler execution threads.

- Has a more complex control unit because it has lots of cores.
