Abstract
Official abstract text for this publication.
In accordance with some embodiments, the knowledge that a capped frame time is used can be exploited to reduce power consumption. Generally a capped frame time is a pre-allocated amount of time to apply power for rendering in graphics processing. Generally the frame time involves the application of power and some down time in which only idle power is applied pending the next frame time. By making better use of that down time, power consumption reductions can be achieved in some embodiments.
First claim
Opening claim text (preview).
What is claimed is: 1. A computer executed method comprising: obtaining information about a graphics frame processing time; and using said information to reduce processor power consumption, by selecting a lower of at least two sleep power consumption states for a first frame and a higher of the at least two sleep power consumption states for a second frame, wherein the processing time for the first frame being less than the processing time for the second frame.…
