Abstract

An embodiment of an electronic processing system may include an application processor, persistent storage media communicatively coupled to the application processor, a graphics subsystem communicatively coupled to the application processor, a power budget analyzer to identify a power budget for one or more of the application processor, the persistent storage media, and the graphics subsystem, a target analyzer communicatively coupled to the graphics subsystem to identify a target for the graphics subsystem, and a parameter adjuster to adjust one or more parameters of the graphics subsystem based on one or more of the identified power budget and the identified target.

First claim

What is claimed is:

1. A graphics apparatus, comprising:
a power budget analyzer to identify a power budget for a graphics system;
a target analyzer to identify a target for the graphics system and determine whether the identified target is a video analytics target or a human viewer; and
a parameter adjuster communicatively coupled to the power budget analyzer to:
adjust an adjustment range of a quantization parameter based on whether the identified target is the video analytics target or the human viewer.

2. The graphics apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the parameter adjuster is further to:
compare the identified power budget to a budget threshold; and
adjust an image tuning parameter of the graphics system based on the comparison of the identified power budget and the budget threshold.

3. The graphics apparatus of claim 2 , wherein the parameter adjuster is further to:
adjust a block size of a motion vector search region based on the comparison of the identified power budget and the budget threshold.

4. The apparatus of claim 1 , wherein the parameter adjuster is further to adjust one or more encode parameters of the graphics system based on the identified target.

5. A method of adjusting a graphics parameter, comprising:
identifying a power budget for a graphics system;
identifying a target for the graphics system;
determining whether the identified target is a video analytics target or a human viewer; and
adjusting an adjustment range of a quantization parameter based on whether the identified target is the video analytics target or the human viewer.

6. At least one non-transitory computer readable medium, comprising a set of instructions, which when executed by a computing device cause the computing device to:
identify a power budget for a graphics system;
identify a target for the graphics system;
determine whether the identified target is a video analytics target or a human viewer; and
adjust an adjustment range of a quantization parameter based on whether the identified target is the video analytics target or the human viewer.
