    摘要: Techniques described above may enhance the power-performance efficiency of a processor, SoC, or a computing system. Embodiments described here allow an increase in frequency of the clock signal to a peak frequency value in response to detecting an occurrence of a burst of high activity within the low processor utilization periods. A power management unit may accumulate the budget during the low or idle processor utilization periods and the level of activity of the burst of high activity signal may be determined. The PMU may increase the frequency of the clock signal provided to the processing cores if the level of the burst of high activity exceeds a first threshold value and an accumulated budget value exceeds a second threshold value.

    摘要: An apparatus may include a memory to store one or more graphics rendering commands in a queue after generation. The apparatus may also include a processor circuit, and a graphics rendering command manager for execution on the processor to dynamically determine at one or more instances a total execution duration for the one or more graphics rendering commands, where the total execution duration comprises a total time to render the one or more graphics rendering commands. The graphics rendering command manager also may be for execution on the processor to generate a signal to transmit the one or more graphics rendering commands for rendering by a graphics processor when the total execution duration exceeds a graphics rendering command execution window.

    摘要: Various embodiments are generally directed to an apparatus, method and other techniques for detecting active and semi-active workloads during execution on a platform processing device and enabling a duty cycle process to reduce thermal output and power consumption, and align unaligned activity. In various embodiments, the duty cycle processing may be enabled during an active workload when thermal output or power consumption is above a thermal threshold or power consumption threshold that is below an efficient operating point for the platform processing device. The duty cycle processing may also be enabled during semi-active workloads when the workload causes the platform processing device to be underutilized and unaligned. The duty cycle processing may comprise enabling a forced idle period for the platform processing device. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
