Abstract: This disclosure provides systems, methods and apparatus, including computer programs encoded on computer storage media for intelligent routing of notifications of incoming voice communication requests. A device, such as a smartphone, may receive an incoming voice communication request, such as a cellular voice call. The smartphone may then identify devices connected to it, such as headsets, tablets, etc., and request each device activate a microphone or camera to attempt to locate the user with respect to the connected devices. The smartphone may then select one of the connected devices, or itself, as the device best able to notify the user of the incoming call based on captured audio, images, or video. The smartphone may then request the selected device output a notification, such as a ring tone, to notify the user of the incoming call. Such a technique may avoid inundating the user with simultaneous call notifications from multiple devices.

Abstract: Systems, methods, and apparatus are herein disclosed for performing load balancing of work queues via a dispatcher that shifts work items between worker threads. The dispatcher can be added to the kernel and can monitor work item workload histories to estimate the workload that each work item will add to a thread that it is scheduled for. Where a workload for a given processor is predicted to trigger performance scaling of that processor, the dispatcher can reschedule one or more work items from the scheduled or default work thread to another work thread. The another work thread can be selected such that the addition of the work item will not trigger performance scaling of the another work thread.

Abstract: Systems and methods for improved implementation of low power modes in a multi-core system-on-a-chip (SoC) are presented. A cache memory of the multi-core SoC not being accessed by other components of the SoC is identified and a number of dirty cache lines present in the cache memory is determined. For a low power mode of the core, an entry latency based on the number of dirty cache lines is determined, and an exit latency is determined. An entry power cost for the low power mode is also determined based on the number of dirty cache lines A determination is made whether the low power mode for the cache memory results in a power savings over an active mode for the cache memory based at least on the entry power cost and the entry latency of the cache memory entering the first power mode.

Abstract: Methods, systems, and devices for wireless communication are described. A user equipment (UE) may be configured for determining that the UE is to perform a public land mobile network (PLMN) scan operation, the PLMN scan operation to be performed during a PLMN scan window. The UE may track a static state time representing an amount of time that the UE has remained within a static state. The UE may then adjust the PLMN scan window of the UE based at least in part on a value of the static state time satisfying a static state time threshold. The UE may, in various examples, increase the static state time threshold upon adjustment of the PLMN scan window and reset a timer associated with tracking the static state time, or the static state time upon adjustment of the PLMN scan window.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically adjusting an input parameter, such as power supply level, to a shared power domain in a portable computing device are disclosed. The power domain includes a plurality of processing resources that share the power source. The power supply level is reduced based on a critical core vote pool derived from votes from the plurality of processing resources. The critical core vote pool is narrowed from all the votes by disqualifying votes based on the operating status of the associated processing resources. For example, because inactive processing resources may be unaffected by a change in the voltage level to the shared domain, and because certain active processing resources are in a position to adjust to a power change dictated by another processing resource, such processing resources may be considered noncritical and their votes disqualified from consideration.

Abstract: A method and computing apparatus for controlling operation of hardware processing components are disclosed. The method may include receiving a data packet (e.g., a media frame) at the computing device, processing the data packet with a plurality of hardware components to display the data packet, and monitoring movement of the data packet among the hardware components. A time indication for each hardware component is generated that indicates when the data packet will be received, and a frequency of each of the hardware components is adjusted based upon when the frame will arrive to be processed.

Abstract: A dynamic cache extension in a multi-cluster heterogeneous processor architecture is described. One embodiment is a system comprising a first processor cluster having a first level two (L2) cache and a second processor cluster having a second L2 cache. The system further comprises a controller in communication with the first and second L2 caches. The controller receives a processor workload input and a cache workload input from the first processor cluster. Based on processor workload input and the cache workload input, the cache controller determines whether a current task associated with the first processor cluster is limited by a size threshold of the first L2 cache or a performance threshold of the first processor cluster. If the current task is limited by the size threshold of the first L2 cache, the controller uses at least a portion of the second L2 cache as an extension of the first L2 cache.

A determination is made, based at least in part on the received workload information, whether to send the at least one data packet from the first processing component to the second processing component or to a buffer, providing a cost effective ability to reduce power consumption and improved battery life in PCDs with multi-cores or multi-CPUs implementing DCVS algorithms or logic.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically adjusting an input parameter to a power domain in a portable computing device are disclosed. The power domain includes two or more processing resources that share a power source. Dynamic use of the two or more processing resources creates an opportunity to adjust the input parameter when a status change associated with a processing resource in the power domain occurs. A controller in the power domain includes logic that responds to a status indicator associated with a respective processing resource in the power domain by generating a control signal that directs a device to adjust one or both of input voltage and clock frequency.

Abstract: Systems and methods that allow for dynamic quality of service (QoS) levels for an application processor in a multi-core on-chip system (SoC) in a portable computing device (PCD) are presented. During operation of the PCD an operational load of a co-processor of the SoC is determined, where the co-processor is in communication with an application processor of the SoC. Based on the determined load, the co-processor determines a QoS level required from the application processor. The QoS level is communicated to the application processor. The application processor determines whether it can implement power optimization measures, such as entering into a low power mode (LPM), based at least in part on the dynamically communicated QoS level from the co-processor. The present disclosure provides a cost effective ability to reduce power consumption in PCDs implementing one or more cores or CPUs that are dependent upon the application processor.
