CPU/GPU DCVS CO-OPTIMIZATION FOR REDUCING POWER CONSUMPTION IN GRAPHICS FRAME PROCESSING

摘要

Systems, methods, and computer programs are disclosed for minimizing power consumption in graphics frame processing. One such method comprises: initiating graphics frame processing to be cooperatively performed by a central processing unit (CPU) and a graphics processing unit (GPU); receiving CPU activity data and GPU activity data; determining a set of available dynamic clock and voltage/frequency scaling (DCVS) levels for the GPU and the CPU; and selecting from the set of available DCVS levels an optimal combination of a GPU DCVS level and a CPU DCVS level, based on the CPU and GPU activity data, which minimizes a combined power consumption of the CPU and the GPU during the graphics frame processing.
