CLOCK RATE ADJUSTMENT FOR PROCESSING UNIT

摘要

Techniques are described in which a processor determines an expected performance level of a graphics processing unit (GPU) based on an amount of commands the GPU is to execute. The processor outputs information indicating the performance level, and the GPU adjusts its clock rate prior to execution of the commands that were used to determine the performance level.

主权项

1. A method of clock rate determination comprising:
determining, with a processor, an amount of commands in a set of commands that a graphics processing unit (GPU) needs to execute within a set period of time; determining a clock rate for the GPU, prior to the GPU executing commands in the set of commands, based on the amount of commands in the set of commands; outputting information indicating the clock rate to the GPU; and instructing the GPU to execute one or more commands of the set of commands.
