Problems solved by technology

In these instances, it is unnecessary to run the GPU of the display that is not the user's focus at the same level as the display that captures the user's attention, resulting in unnecessarily inefficient use of computing resources

Abstract

An aspect of the present invention proposes a solution to allow a dynamic adjustment of a performance level of a GPU based on the user observed screen area. According to one embodiment, a user's focus in one or more display panels is determined. The GPU that performs rendering for that region and / or display panel will dynamically adjust (i.e., increase) the level of performance in response to the user's focus, whereas all other GPUs (e.g., the GPUs that perform rendering for other regions / display panels) will experience a reduced level of performance. According to such an embodiment, dynamically reducing the performance of GPUs outside of the area of focus can result in any one or more of a significant number of benefits, including lower power consumption rates, less processing, less (frequent) memory accesses, and reduced heat and noise levels.

Description

Background technique [0001] In modern computing systems such as desktops, notebooks, and video game consoles, a graphics processing subsystem is used to perform graphics rendering. Traditionally, graphics processing subsystems include one or more graphics processing units, or "GPUs," which are special-purpose processors designed to efficiently perform graphics processing operations. [0002] Some modern main circuit boards often include two or more graphics subsystems. For example, a typical configuration includes an integrated graphics processing unit and one or more additional expansion slots that can be used to add one or more discrete graphics units. Each graphics processing subsystem can, and typically does, have its own output terminal with one or more ports corresponding to one or more audio / video standards (e.g., VGA, HDMI, DVI, etc.), even though Typically only one graphics processing subsystem will be running in a computing system at any time.
