  • Patent number: 9741090
    Abstract: A graphics display processing device including: a graphics processor that executes GPU instructions based on a primary drawing instruction and a secondary drawing instruction; an acquirer) that acquires the primary drawing instruction and the secondary drawing instruction; an estimator that calculates an estimated GPU processing time required for executing the GPU instructions; a determiner that determines, using the estimated GPU processing time, which of the primary drawing instruction and the secondary drawing instruction is to be executed first; an issuance controller that performs a control when the primary drawing instruction is to be executed first, causing the primary drawing instruction to be issued and issuance of the secondary drawing instruction to be postponed; an instruction issuer that issues each drawing instruction according to the control of the issuance controller; and a graphics driver that generates the GPU instructions by executing each drawing instruction issued.

  • Patent number: 9170832
    Abstract: A virtual machine control apparatus 100 controls execution of a first type virtual machine A210 and a second type virtual machine 220. The first type virtual machine A210 includes a start detection unit 261 which detects an operation in the first type virtual machine A210 to start usage of a device (external storage device 160). The first type virtual machine A210 also includes a start signal output unit 262 which outputs a start signal when the start detection unit 261 detects the operation to start usage of the device. The second type virtual machine 220 includes a control unit (external storage device driver 272) which, when the start signal output unit 262 outputs the start signal while the device is in set in a low power mode (electrical power set to off), sets the device in a normal mode (electrical power set to on).

  • Patent number: 9009509
    Abstract: A total power saving controller AA06 judges whether two or more predetermined number of virtual computers AA01 are in a power saving state, referring to a virtual computer information table BB01, in the case where the total power saving controller AA06 receives, from one of the virtual computers AA01, a shift request requesting shifting the virtual computer AA01 from the power saving state thereof. A device control changer AA07 decides, out of all devices AA08 corresponding to the virtual computers AA01 in the power saving state, one of the devices to be operated as an operating device, and the rest of the devices as a degraded device, for causing the operating device to perform a degraded control of the degraded device, in the case where the total power saving controller AA06 judges that all the virtual computers AA01 are in the power saving state.
