Abstract: According to various aspects, just-in-time system bandwidth changes may be implemented in hardware to optimize power consumption and performance in an electronic device. More particularly, in a periodic system associated with an electronic device, a bandwidth for a next frame may be configured during a current frame via software operating on the electronic device. Hardware associated with the periodic system may issue a bandwidth change request for the next frame when a current time reaches a bandwidth increase threshold in response to actual processing time associated with the current frame finishing prior to the bandwidth increase threshold, which may be defined relative to a timer deadline that defines when the next frame starts to process.

Abstract: Techniques are described in which a device is configured to retrieve a metadata buffer for rendering a sub-frame of a set of sub-frames for a frame. A data block of a data buffer is configured to store image data for rendering the sub-frame. In response to determining, based on the metadata buffer for rendering the sub-frame, that the sub-frame includes a color pattern, fixed color value, or combination thereof, the device refrains from retrieving the image data from the data block of the data buffer and determines the image data for rendering the sub-frame based on the metadata buffer.

Abstract: A method and system for adjusting bandwidth within a portable computing device based on danger signals monitored from one on more elements of the portable computing device are disclosed. A danger level of an unacceptable deadline miss (“UDM”) element of the portable computing device may be determined with a danger level sensor within the UDM element. Next, a quality of service (“QoS”) controller may adjust a magnitude for one or more danger levels received based on the UDM element type that generated the danger level and based on a potential fault condition type associated with the particular danger level. The danger levels received from one UDM element may be mapped to at least one of another UDM element and a non-UDM element. A quality of service policy for each UDM element and non-UDM element may be mapped in accordance with the danger levels.
