发明名称 Minimizing power consumption in a network device
摘要 A network interface device (NID) may determine whether the received data units of the computer system are to be compressed before transmitting the data units. The NID may determine the compression energy value consumed to compress the first K1 data units and a second transmission energy value to transmit the compressed first K1 data units. The NID may then estimate a first transmission energy value that may be consumed by the NID to transmit uncompressed first K1 data units using the second transmission energy value. The NID may then use the first and second transmission energy value and the compression energy value to determine if the remaining (N-K1) data units of the first data stream.

主权项 1. An apparatus comprising: a device to determine whether one delay that is to be incurred in compressing data is greater than another delay that is allowed by a quality of service; and if both (1) the device determines that the one delay is not greater than the another delay, and (2) a certain energy associated with transmission satisfies a certain constraint, then the device is to signal that the data is to be compressed prior to being transmitted; the device to receive the data from a single instruction multiple data (SIMD) general purpose processor that is comprised in a camera computer system, the camera computer system also comprising a separate graphics processing unit and chipset logic, the chipset logic being coupled to the SIMD general purpose processor and to the graphics processing unit, the device to transmit data units from the SIMD general purpose processor to an Internet network, the graphics processing unit being coupled via a buffer to a display; wherein: the device is also to determine whether a sum of a first energy and a second energy is lower than a third energy;if the device determines that the sum is lower than the third energy, the device is to signal that the data is to be compressed prior to being transmitted;the third energy is to be consumed in transmission of the data;the first energy is to be consumed in the compressing of the data to produce compressed data; andthe second energy is to be consumed in transmitting the compressed data.
