  • Replacement Policies for a Hybrid Hierarchical Cache
    Publication number: 20200349091
    Abstract: A hybrid hierarchical cache is implemented at the same level in the access pipeline, to get the faster access behavior of a smaller cache and, at the same time, a higher hit rate at lower power for a larger cache, in some embodiments. A split cache at the same level in the access pipeline includes two caches that work together. In the hybrid, split, low level cache (e.g., L1) evictions are coordinated locally between the two L1 portions, and on a miss to both L1 portions, a line is allocated from a larger L2 cache to the smallest L1 cache.

  • Regional Adjustment of Render Rate
    Publication number: 20200348897
    Abstract: In accordance with some embodiments, the render rate is varied across and/or up and down the display screen. This may be done based on where the user is looking in order to reduce power consumption and/or increase performance. Specifically the screen display is separated into regions, such as quadrants. Each of these regions is rendered at a rate determined by at least one of what the user is currently looking at, what the user has looked at in the past and/or what it is predicted that the user will look at next. Areas of less focus may be rendered at a lower rate, reducing power consumption in some embodiments.
