  • Publication number: 20260072494
    Abstract: Embodiments include apparatuses, methods, and systems including a power control unit to control different power consumptions by one or more processors to operate different applications. The power control unit may receive power information that may include a priority information for each application to be operated on the one or more processors, determine to control, based on the power information for different applications, different power consumptions by the one or more processors to operate the different applications. Other embodiments may also be described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 12451099
    Abstract: In multi-display systems, such as video walls, comprising a control computing system providing content to multiple display computing systems driving a plurality of displays, the refresh rates of the displays can drift over time. This drift can introduce display artifacts, which can make for an unpleasant viewing experience. To counteract display refresh drift, a control system periodically compares display refresh timestamps of the individual display systems to a reference display refresh timestamp of a reference display system. If the difference exceeds a threshold, the control system determines clock adjustment information that is sent to the display system exhibiting drift. The display system utilizes the clock adjustment information to adjust the frequency of a display system clock, which can be done by writing the clock adjustment information to registers that control the behavior of a phase-locked loop that generates the clock used by display refresh circuitry.

  • Patent number: 11029744
    Abstract: In one embodiment, a processor includes: at least one core; a stress detector coupled to the at least one core to receive at least one of a voltage and a temperature at which the processor is to operate, calculate an effective stress based at least in part thereon, and maintain an accumulated effective stress; a clock circuit to calculate a lifetime duration of the processor in a platform; a meter to receive the accumulated effective stress, the lifetime duration and a stress model value and generate a control signal based on a comparison of the accumulated effective stress and the stress model value; and a power controller to control at least one parameter of a turbo mode of the processor based at least in part on the control signal. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Publication number: 20040030861
    Abstract: A customizable computing system, having a microprocessor and a programmable logic device coupled to the microprocessor via a dedicated bus. The programmable logic device includes a configuration to provide I/O functionality to the system and may be a field programmable gate array. The programmable logic device operates as both a north bridge and a south bridge as is understood by those of ordinary skill in the art. Requests are received from the microprocessor in the programmable logic device over the dedicated bus and are processor specific requests. The processor specific requests are translated into processor dependent commands by a bridge. After the processor specific requests are translated into processor dependent commands, the commands are forwarded to processor independent I/O structures which interface with both internal and external peripheral devices to the customizable computing system.
