  • Publication number: 20240144430
    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. When detecting an indication that the loading of the GPU exceeds a threshold, the processors reduce the resolution of a video output from the GPU in response to the indication. 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.
