Abstract: An apparatus to determine if a temperature of an electronic device is equal to or exceeds a predetermined threshold. In response to detecting the temperature of the electronic device has at least reached the predetermined threshold, determining a target throttling point for a processor, the target throttling point including a target operating frequency and target operating voltage. Thereafter, dynamically changing a current operating point for the electronic device including a current operating frequency and a current operating voltage by non-contemporaneously changing the current operating frequency to the target operating frequency and the current operating voltage to the target operating voltage. During the changing of the current operating voltage the device is in an active state.

Abstract: In one embodiment, there is provided a method comprising determining a target operating point for an electronic device, the target operating point including a target operating frequency and a target operating voltage; and dynamically changing a current operating point for the electronic device including a current operating frequency and a current operating voltage by non-contemporaneously changing the current operating frequency to the target operating frequency and a current operating voltage to the target operating voltage, wherein during the changing the electronic device is in an active state.

Abstract: A processor includes a host interface unit capable of generating at least one branch trace message (BTM), the host interface unit is coupled to a memory so as to store the at least one BTM in the memory and the processor is embodied on an integrated circuit (IC).

Abstract: Embodiments of the present invention relate to displaying images from memory. A plurality of pixel attributes are retrieved from memory in a single memory transaction. At least one attribute corresponds to one scan line of a display and another attribute corresponds to another scan line of the display. A portion of one scan line using the corresponding pixel attribute is displayed. The pixel attributes corresponding to another scan line is stored in a buffer.

Abstract: Memory is allocated for use by a graphics processor. Available portions of system memory are identified by requesting an amount of system memory from an operating system and receiving locations of the available portions from the operating system. Those available portions are then allocated for use by the graphics processor based at least in part on the devices in which the available portions are located.

Abstract: A method and apparatus for preventing over-prefetching from a buffer receives an address of a last data set item in a data buffer, and reads data from the data buffer into a read streamer buffer starting at a data buffer start address until the address of said last item.
