Abstract: In an embodiment, a computing device includes a processor and a machine-readable storage medium storing instructions. The instructions may be executable by the hardware processor to: receive a request for an expanded refresh rate that is not supported by a display device; in response to the received request, determine a native refresh rate that is supported by a display device; mask a plurality of interrupts generated by display hardware at the determined native refresh rate; and send, at the requested expanded refresh rate, a plurality of emulated interrupts to an operating system in place of the masked plurality of interrupts generated by the display hardware. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: A system for modeling an entity includes a prediction module configured to identify one of a plurality of entities using a set of criteria filters to construct a model for the entity with model features built from data about the entity. The prediction module computes a diffusion model coefficient ? based on a diffusion parameter vector ?, and a drift model coefficient ? based on a drift parameter vector ?. The module computes a predicted entity success probability and a success interval confidence interval. A portfolio selection module is configured to receive a score measuring success for the plurality of entities based on the model, order the scores in a rank order, and form a portfolio from top n scoring entities. A prediction interpretation module receives parameter vectors ? and ? and entity model coefficients ? and ? and uses distributions of ? and ? to correlate entity features with success prediction.

Abstract: In an embodiment, a computing device includes a processor and a machine-readable storage medium storing instructions. The instructions may be executable by the hardware processor to: monitor a user input device during presentation of video frames on a display device with a refresh rate at a first level; determine whether a time period since a last user interaction with the user input device exceeds a time threshold; and reduce the refresh rate of the display device to a second level in response to a determination that the time period since the last user interaction exceeds the time threshold. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Abstract: Methods, apparatus, systems and articles of manufacture are disclosed for reduced computing device power consumption. Example methods disclosed herein includes detecting frame updates corresponding to input frames to be presented by a display, causing a programmable timer to generate second interrupts corresponding to first interrupts generated by a display engine, the second interrupts to be generated when there are no frame updates detected for at least a first duration of time defined by a first threshold. Example methods further include causing the display engine to transition to a low power state when (1) the programmable timer is configured to generate the second interrupts and (2) no frame updates have been detected for at least a second duration of time following the first duration of time, the second duration of time defined by a second threshold.
