Patent number: 11675410Abstract: A monitoring system predicts voltage droops at a processor by monitoring one or more performance characteristics of the processor, selecting a response policy based on the prediction, and adjusting a parameter of the processor. Multiple predictions of voltage droop conditions at different locations of the processor are made simultaneously, with the processor generating one or more responses and resulting in adjusting one or more parameters of the processor. By predicting voltage droop conditions before they occur, the deleterious effects of such droop conditions can be minimized or avoided.Type: GrantFiled: April 10, 2018Date of Patent: June 13, 2023Assignee: Advanced Micro Devices, Inc.Inventor: Amitabh Mehra

Patent number: 11656674Abstract: Disclosed are a power consumption reduction circuit for Graphics Processing Units (GPUs) in a server and a server. The power consumption reduction circuit includes a frequency reduction control chip. The frequency reduction control chip, after receiving an overpower alarm signal generated by a Power Supply Unit (PSU), generates a frequency reduction control signal to a Power Break (PWRBRK) pin of each GPU so as to start a frequency reduction operation of each GPU. It can be seen that, in the present application, an underlying hardware circuit is directly used for implementation with relatively quick responses and without intervention of an operating system, whereby the whole frequency reduction operation of the GPU may be completed within 5 ms, and the PSU is prevented from triggering overpower protection within relatively short time. Therefore, loss of service data of a user caused by an exceptional power failure of the server is avoided.Type: GrantFiled: September 24, 2020Date of Patent: May 23, 2023Assignee: INSPUR SUZHOU INTELLIGENT TECHNOLOGY CO., LTD.Inventors: Peng Wang, Shichao Cheng, Longling Sun, Wenyu Liu, Mingyang Ye

Patent number: 11593175Abstract: In general, embodiments are disclosed herein for tracking and allocating graphics hardware resources. In one embodiment, a software and/or firmware process constructs a cross-application command queue utilization table based on one or more specified command queue quality of service (QoS) settings, in order to track the target and current utilization rates of each command queue on the graphics hardware over a given frame and to load work onto the graphics hardware in accordance with the utilization table. Based on the constructed utilization table for a given frame, any command queues that have exceed their respective target utilization value may be moved to an “inactive” status for the duration of the current frame. For any command queues that remain in an “active” status for the current frame, work from those command queues may be loaded on to slots of the appropriate data masters of the graphics hardware in any desired order.Type: GrantFiled: May 2, 2022Date of Patent: February 28, 2023Assignee: Apple Inc.Inventors: Kutty Banerjee, Michael Imbrogno
