摘要:
A method and apparatus are provided for obtaining throttle settings of a system, such as a chipset. A first bandwidth may be applied to a first area (or interface) of the system and a temperature of the first area may be sensed using a thermal sensor. The bandwidth passing through this first area may be increased or decreased based on the sensed temperature to obtain an ideal or optimized setting.

A system and method for thermal management of a memory device is described. In an embodiment, one or more thermal sensors sends a signal to a thermal control module indicating that a pre-determined temperature threshold for a memory device or devices has been reached. The thermal control module may then begin tracking memory thermals or initiate thermal management operations based on the signal and history of memory device temperatures over time.

Embodiments of the present invention provide detection, enumeration, and software configuration of optional choice of add-in cards types through a multiplexed bus interface. The PROM allows identification of the add-in device and software configuration to adapt to support it. In particular, plug and play detection of digital display codec devices and display and integration of software and firmware support for devices inside the add-in card are provided for.

In one embodiment of the invention, an integrated device is described that employs a mechanism to control power consumption of a graphics memory controller hub (GMCH) through both voltage and frequency adjustment of clock signal received from a clock generator. The GMCH comprises a graphics core and a circuit to alter operational behavior, such as the frequency of a render clock signal supplied to the graphics core. The circuit is adapted to monitor idleness of the graphics core and reduce a frequency level of the render clock signal if the idleness exceeds a determined percentage of time.

A method and system according to the present invention provide for sharing memory between applications running on one or more CPUs, and acceleration co-processors, such as graphics processors, of a computer system in which the memory may retain its optimal caching and access attributes favorable to the maximum performance of both CPU and graphics processor. The method involves a division of ownership within which the shared memory is made coherent with respect to the previous owner, prior to handing placing the shared memory in the view the next owner. This arbitration may involve interfaces within which ownership is transitioned from one client to another. Within such transition of ownership the memory may be changed from one view to another by actively altering the processor caching attributes of the shared memory as well as via the use of processor low-level cache control instructions, and/or graphics processor render flush algorithms which serve to enforce data coherency. Embodiments of the invention facilitate maximal access efficiency for all clients which share the data, without the incurring the overhead of moving or replicating the data between the clients.

摘要:
An apparatus and method are disclosed for synchronization of command processing from multiple command queues. Various embodiments employ a condition code register that indicates which queues should have processing suspended until a specified event condition occurs. Upon satisfaction of the specified condition, processing of commands from the suspended queue is resumed.
