More Information
Summary:One or more system, apparatus, method, and computer readable media is described below for power management of one or more graphics processor resources. In some embodiments, a graphics processor context associated with an application an including power-related hardware configuration and control parameters is stored to memory. In some embodiments, graphics processor contexts are switched in and out as different application workloads are processed by resources of the graphics processor. In some embodiments, power-performance management algorithms are grouped and sequentially executed in ordered phases of a control loop to generate a compatible set of control parameter requests. Once finalized, the set is output as requests to graphics processor hardware and/or updates to stored graphics processor contexts.
