  • Switching display update properties upon detecting a power management event
    Patent number: 8860707
    Abstract: Systems and methods provide automatic switching of display update properties such as screen resolution, pixel depth, and refresh rate in response to a power management event. The display update property may be decreased when power is switched from AC power to DC power, for example, when the system is unplugged from a wall outlet and is running on battery power.
    Type: Grant

  • Dynamic power state determination of a graphics processing unit
    Patent number: 8555091
    Abstract: According to some embodiments, a method and apparatus are provided to determine a first operating point and a second operating point associated with a graphics processing unit, automatically determine a plurality of voltage/frequency values between the first operating point and the second operating point, and define a plurality of power states of the graphic processing unit. One or more of the power states may be associated with one of the plurality of voltage/frequency values. Each of the plurality of voltage/frequency values may include both a voltage and a frequency.
