AMD display engine is partially shared with other operating systems; for this reason, our Display Core Driver is divided into two pieces:

1. Display Core (DC) contains the OS-agnostic components. Things like hardware programming and resource management are handled here.
2. Display Manager (DM) contains the OS-dependent components. Hooks to the amdgpu base driver and DRM are implemented here.

The display pipe is responsible for "scanning out" a rendered frame from the GPU memory (also called VRAM, FrameBuffer, etc.) to a display. In other words, it would:

1. Read frame information from memory;
2. Perform required transformation;
3. Send pixel data to sink devices.
