摘要： A system is presented that is configured to reduce power consumption when performing processing tasks. The system includes a first processing entity capable of performing a set of operations, and a second processing entity configured to consume less power than the first processing entity and capable of performing a subset of operations that is part of the set of operations. During system operation, the second processing entity is configured to perform the subset of operations instead of the first processing entity.

摘要： A system and method for adjusting pictures minimizes the impact on graphics processing performance of a discrete processor. A hybrid system configuration includes the discrete processor and an integrated processor, where the discrete processor typically consumes more power and provides greater processing performance compared with the integrated processor. A picture is produced by a video or graphics engine of a discrete processor within a hybrid system. Each picture is then transferred to a back buffer in the host processing memory. The picture is analyzed to produce picture analysis results that are used to generate adjustment settings. The back buffer is swapped to become the front buffer and the adjustment settings are applied to the picture by an integrated processor to display an adjusted picture. The adjustment may be used in conjunction with power saving techniques to maintain the image quality when display backlighting is reduced.

摘要： The graphics co-processing technique includes receiving display operation for execution by a graphics processing unit on an unattached adapter. The display operation is split into an encrypt content by the graphics processing unit on the unattached adapter, a copy from a frame buffer of the graphics processing unit on the unattached adapter to a buffer in system memory, a copy from the buffer in system memory to a frame buffer of graphics processing unit on a primary adapter, a decrypt the encrypted content in the frame buffer of the graphics processing unit on the primary adapter, and a present from the frame buffer of the graphics processing unit on the primary adapter to a display. Execution of the copy from the frame buffer of the graphics processing unit on the unattached adapter to the buffer in system memory and the copy from the buffer in system memory to the frame buffer of the graphics processing unit on the primary adapter are synchronized.

摘要： Power management systems and methods that facilitate efficient and effective power conservation are presented. In one embodiment a power management method comprises: performing an initiation metric determination process, and adjusting operations of a logic component based on said threshold value. In one exemplary implementation, the initiation metric determination process includes monitoring activity of a logic component, and establishing a power conservation initiation threshold value. The initiation metric determination process can include performing a system architecture characteristic analysis in which a system architecture power-consumption break-even time (BE) is determined for the system. The initiation metric determination process can also include performing a system utilization analysis process is performed in which idle period durations detected during said monitoring are sorted into a variety of different length intervals and analyzed accordingly. Histograms of idle period durations can be collected. Adjusting operations can include entering a low power state.
