    摘要: A system and method for efficiently measuring on-die power supply voltage are described. In various implementations, an integrated circuit includes at least one or more processors and on-chip memory. The on-chip memory has a higher security level than off-chip memory. One of the one or more processors is designated as a security processor. During the processing of the multiple boot steps of a bootup operation, the security processor initializes a message queue in on-chip memory. The security processor also loads multiple modules from off-chip memory into the on-chip memory. The processor executes the multiple loaded modules in an order based on using the message queue to implement inter-module communication among the plurality of boot modules. The security processor transfers requested data between modules using messages from the modules and data storage of the message queue. The modules are completed without reloading any modules from off-chip memory.

    摘要: One or more components of a computing device are run by default in a boost mode state. The one or more components continue to run in the boost mode state until the boost mode state is no longer sustainable, e.g., due to power consumption of the one or more components or temperature of the one or more components. The one or more components are switched to a reduced power state (e.g., a non-boost mode state) in response to the boost mode state no longer being sustainable. When operating the one or more components in the boost mode state again becomes sustainable due to power consumption or temperature of the one or more components, the one or more components are returned to the default boost mode state.

    摘要: A apparatus includes a reference signal generator, a droop detection circuit, a digital frequency-locked loop (DFLL), and a DFLL control circuit. The reference signal generator that receives a digital value and produces a pulse-density modulated signal based on the digital value. The droop detection circuit converts the pulse-density modulated signal to an analog signal, compares the analog signal to a monitored supply voltage, and responsive to detecting a droop of the monitored supply voltage below a designated value relative to the analog signal, produces a droop detection signal. The DFLL provides a clock signal for synchronizing circuitry within a domain of the monitored supply voltage. The DFLL control circuit, responsive to receiving the droop detection signal, causes the DFLL to slow the clock signal.

    摘要: An image generation apparatus includes at least a first configuration register that includes first configuration data for configuring parameters of an image processor, at least a second configuration register that includes second configuration data for configuring the parameters of a same image processing pipeline in the image processor, multiplexing logic coupled to the first configuration register and to the second configuration register, control logic that controls the multiplexing logic to in a non-demonstration mode select one of the first or second configuration registers to produce a first image frame and operative in a demonstration mode to provide both the first and second configuration data for the same image processing pipeline of the image processor to use for generating different regions of an image frame.

    摘要: A graphics processing unit (GPU) of a processing system transmits pixel data for a frame to a display in a compressed burst, so that the pixel data is communicated at a rate that is higher than the rate at which the display scans out the pixel data to refresh the frame at a display panel. By transmitting pixel data for the frame in a compressed burst, the GPU shortens the time spent transmitting the pixel data and extends the time before the next frame of pixel data is to be transmitted. During the extended time before the next frame of pixel data is to be transmitted, the GPU saves power by placing portions of the processing system in a reduced power mode.

    摘要: A technique for generating a trained discriminator is provided. The technique includes applying one or more of a glitched image or an unglitched image to a discriminator; receiving classification output from the discriminator; adjusting weights of the discriminator to improve classification accuracy of the discriminator; applying noise to a generator; receiving an output image from the generator; applying the output image to the discriminator to obtain a classification; and adjusting weights of one of the discriminator or the generator to improve ability of the generator to reduce classification accuracy of the discriminator, based on the classification.
