Abstract: A computing system performs artificial-intelligence (AI) super-resolution (SR). The computing system includes multiple processors, which further includes a graphics processing unit (GPU) and an AI processing unit (APU). The computing system also includes a memory to store AI models.

One of the AI models is selected based on graphics scenes in the video and the respective power consumption estimates of the AI models. The processors then perform AI SR operations on the video using the selected AI model to restore the resolution of the video for display.

The SPS includes a high-side transistor and a low-side transistor.

The first control voltage causes the low-side transistor to be fully turned on, and the second control voltage causes the high-side transistor to be in a linear region. In response to a predetermined amount of time expiring, the voltage regulator controller enters the SPS in an idle mode.
