Patent number: 10503546Abstract: In general, techniques are disclosed for tracking and allocating graphics processor hardware over specified periods of time. More particularly, hardware sensors may be used to determine the utilization of graphics processor hardware after each of a number of specified intervals (referred to as “sample intervals”). The utilization values so captured may be combined after a first number of sample intervals (the combined interval referred to as an “epoch interval”) and used to determine a normalized utilization of the graphic processor's hardware resources. Normalized epoch utilization values have been adjusted to account for resources used by concurrently executing processes. In some embodiments, a lower priority process that obtains and fails to release resources that should be allocated to one or more higher priority processes may be detected, paused, and its hardware resources given to the higher priority processes.Type: GrantFiled: June 6, 2017Date of Patent: December 10, 2019Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Tatsuya Iwamoto, Kutty Banerjee, Benjiman L.

Publication number: 20190369707Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media to manage power for a graphics processor are described. When the power management component determines the graphics processor is idle when processing a current frame by the graphics processor, the power management component predicts an idle period for the graphics processor based on the work history. The power management component obtains a first latency value indicative of a power on time period and a second latency value indicative of a power off time period for a graphics processor component, such as graphics processor hardware. The power management component provides power instructions to transition the graphics processor component to the power off state based on a determination that a combined latency value of the first latency value and the second latency value is less than the idle period.Type: ApplicationFiled: May 30, 2019Publication date: December 5, 2019Inventors: Tatsuya Iwamoto, Jason P.

Publication number: 20190340723Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer readable media to improve task switching operations in a graphics processing unit (GPU) are described. As disclosed herein, the clock rate (and voltages) of a GPU's operating environment may be altered so that a low priority task may be rapidly run to a task switch boundary (or completion) so that a higher priority task may begin execution. In some embodiments, only the GPU's operating clock (and voltage) is increased during the task switch operation. In other embodiments, the clock rate (voltages) of supporting components may also be increased. For example, the operating clock for the GPU's supporting memory, memory controller or memory fabric may also be increased. Once the lower priority task has been swapped out, one or more of the clocks (and voltages) increased during the switch operation could be subsequently decreased, though not necessarily to their pre-switch rates.Type: ApplicationFiled: July 15, 2019Publication date: November 7, 2019Inventors: Tatsuya Iwamoto, Kutty Banerjee, Rohan Sanjeev Patil

Publication number: 20190213776Abstract: One disclosed embodiment includes a method of scheduling graphics commands for processing. A plurality of micro-commands is generated based on one or more graphics commands obtained from a central processing unit. The dependency between the one or more graphics commands is then determined and an execution graph is generated based on the determined dependency. Each micro-command in the execution graph is connected by an edge to the other micro-commands that it depends on. A wait count is defined for each micro-command of the execution graph, where the wait count indicates the number of micro-commands that the each particular micro-command depends on. One or more micro-commands with a wait count of zero are transmitted to a ready queue for processing.Type: ApplicationFiled: January 8, 2018Publication date: July 11, 2019Inventors: Kutty Banerjee, Rohan Sanjeev Patil, Pratik Chandresh Shah, Gokhan Avkarogullari, Tatsuya Iwamoto

Publication number: 20190108037Abstract: One disclosed embodiment includes a method of graphics processing. The method includes receiving an indication to update a current frame on a display. A plurality of graphics command are determined to be associated with a next frame that replaces the current frame. A power-up command is generated based on the received indication, configured to cause GPU hardware to begin an initialization operation. The central processing unit processes the plurality of graphics command. Prior to completely process the plurality of graphics command, a power-up command is sent to a GPU firmware. The GPU firmware initializes the GPU hardware based on the power-up command. The processed plurality of graphics command is also transmitted to the GPU hardware. The GPU hardware executes the processed plurality of graphics command to render the next frame on the display.Type: ApplicationFiled: April 24, 2018Publication date: April 11, 2019Inventors: Rohan Sanjeev Patil, Gokhan Avkarogullari, Tatsuya Iwamoto
