Description
Technical Field
The invention relates to a control method, a processor and an electronic device.
Background
The maximum processing frequency (set frequency) is preset in a processor such as a CPU (central processing unit) or a GPU (graphics processing unit). That is, the set frequency is the maximum processing frequency at which the processor can operate. When the maximum processing frequency is preset by the manufacturer, there is a portion of the margin. Therefore, the user can maximize the performance of the processor by increasing the maximum processing frequency (i.e., the overdrive frequency).
However, as the maximum processing frequency increases, the voltage of the processor is caused to be unstable, and the power of the processor is caused to increase. When the processor is in the increased maximum processing frequency for a long time, the processor is in a state where the voltage is unstable and the power is increased for a long time, which may cause unstable operation of the processor, a halt of an electronic device including the processor, and the like. This results in a reduction in the useful life of the processor.

Detailed Description
Embodiments of the present invention will be described below with reference to the drawings. The following description with reference to the accompanying drawings is provided to assist in understanding the exemplary embodiments of the invention as defined by the claims and their equivalents. It includes various specific details to assist understanding, but they are to be construed as merely illustrative. Accordingly, those skilled in the art will recognize that various changes and modifications can be made to the embodiments described herein without departing from the scope and spirit of the present invention. Also, in order to make the description clearer and simpler, a detailed description of functions and configurations well known in the art will be omitted.
First, a control method according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to fig. 1. The control method shown in fig. 1 is applied to an electronic apparatus including a processor, wherein a set frequency of the processor included in the electronic apparatus can be adjusted. For example, the electronic device is, for example, a computer, a digital camera, or the like as long as it includes a processor capable of adjusting the set frequency (maximum processing frequency), and the processor included in the electronic device is, for example, a central processing unit, an image processor, or the like as long as the set frequency can be adjusted.
In step S1, the usage when the processor executes the application is acquired.
Specifically, a current processing frequency when the processor executes the application is obtained, wherein the current processing frequency is less than or equal to a set frequency of the processor.
In addition, the processor usage rate of the processor executing the application may also be obtained and expressed as a percentage. For example, the result of dividing the current processing frequency by the set frequency may be used as the processor utilization.
Furthermore, in the embodiments of the present invention, the usage of the processor may be acquired for all applications executed in the processor, or may be acquired for each application executed in the processor. In particular, when an application such as a large-sized game is executed, a large load of the processor is required. At this time, in step S1, the usage when the processor executes the large game is acquired.
In step S2, information for controlling the frequency of the processor is generated in accordance with the acquired use cases.
Specifically, in the case where the acquired use condition satisfies a first condition, first information for increasing the set frequency of the processor is generated; generating second information for reducing the setting frequency of the processor in a case where the acquired use case satisfies a second condition.
For example, in the case where the acquired current usage frequency is equal to or greater than a first predetermined frequency, first information for increasing the set frequency of the processor is generated, and in the case where the acquired current usage frequency is less than a second predetermined frequency, second information for decreasing the set frequency of the processor is generated. For another example, in the case where the acquired processor usage is equal to or greater than the first threshold value, first information for increasing the set frequency of the processor is generated, and in the case where the acquired processor usage is less than the second threshold value, second information for decreasing the set frequency of the processor is generated. The predetermined frequency and the threshold value may be flexibly set as needed, and for example, the first predetermined frequency may be set to 95% of the set frequency, and the first threshold value may be set to 80%. The first predetermined frequency and the second predetermined frequency may be the same value or different values. The first threshold value and the second threshold value may be the same value or different values. Furthermore, the first condition may be set to another condition, and a case where the first condition is satisfied may indicate a case where the processing effect of the processor needs to be ensured by increasing the frequency of setting the processor. Similarly, the second condition may be set to be another condition, and a case where the second condition is satisfied may indicate a case where the processing effect of the processor is not required to be ensured by increasing the frequency of setting the processor.
In addition, the first information for increasing the frequency of setting the processor may be generated when the acquired situation in which the usage satisfies the first condition continues for a predetermined time or longer, and the second information for increasing the frequency of setting the processor may be generated when the acquired situation in which the usage satisfies the second condition continues for a predetermined time or longer. This improves the rationality, which is the appropriateness of adjusting the set frequency of the processor, and avoids wasteful adjustment of the set frequency when the set frequency does not need to be adjusted.
In the case where the setting frequency has been adjusted, the setting frequency in the above description indicates, for example, an adjusted setting frequency. Of course, the setting frequency used when determining whether the first condition or the second condition is satisfied may be a setting frequency preset by a manufacturer. Further, in the embodiment of the invention, in the case where the current setting frequency is the setting frequency preset by the manufacturer, the second information for lowering the setting frequency of the processor may not be generated (even if the second condition is satisfied in the acquired use case). Therefore, the set frequency after adjustment is not lower than the set frequency preset by a manufacturer.
In step S3, the set frequency of the processor is adjusted in response to the information for controlling the set frequency of the processor.
Specifically, the set frequency of the processor is increased in response to the first information, and the set frequency of the processor is decreased in response to the second information.
For example, in a case where the first information for increasing the set frequency of the processor is generated because the acquired use case satisfies the first condition in step S2, the set frequency of the processor is increased in response to the generated first information. On the other hand, in a case where the second information for reducing the set frequency of the processor is generated because the acquired use condition satisfies the second condition in step S2, the set frequency of the processor is reduced in response to the generated second information. When the current set frequency is equal to the set frequency preset by a manufacturer, the processor is not in a state of unstable voltage and increased power, so that the processor is not unstable in operation, the electronic equipment including the processor is not halted, and the current set frequency does not need to be adjusted to be lower than the preset set frequency. In addition, adjusting the current set frequency to be below the preset set frequency results in reduced performance of the processor. Therefore, in the case where the current set frequency is equal to the set frequency preset by the manufacturer, even if the second information for lowering the set frequency of the processor is generated, the set frequency of the processor is not lowered.
According to the control method of the embodiment of the invention, the setting frequency of the processor is adjusted according to the use condition when the processor executes the application. For example, if it is determined that the performance of the processor needs to be improved to ensure the processing effect, the setting frequency of the processor is increased, whereas if it is determined that the performance of the processor does not need to be improved to ensure the processing effect, the setting frequency of the processor is decreased, thereby preventing the reduction in the lifetime of the processor due to the long-term over-clocking.
Furthermore, the embodiment of the present invention preferably further includes acquiring a processing effect when the processor executes the application. At this time, in the present invention, in generating information for controlling a set frequency, information for controlling the set frequency of the processor is generated according to the acquired use and processing effect.
The processing effect when the processor executes the application can be expressed by, for example, a refresh rate, and the higher the refresh rate, the better the processing effect, and the lower the refresh rate, the worse the processing effect. In addition, the processing effect when the processor executes the application may be represented by other parameters as long as the processing effect when the processor executes the application can be reflected. For example, when a large game is executed, the fluency of the screen can represent the processing effect when the processor executes the application, and in this case, the processing effect when the processor executes the application can be represented by a parameter which can represent the fluency of the screen.
Preferably, the step of generating information for controlling the set frequency of the processor according to the acquired use case and processing effect includes: generating first information for increasing a set frequency of the processor in a case where the acquired use condition satisfies a first condition and the acquired processing effect satisfies a third condition; and generating second information for reducing the setting frequency of the processor in a case where the acquired use case satisfies a second condition and the acquired processing effect does not satisfy a fourth condition.
In the embodiment of the present invention, for example, an increase amount is set to increase the setting frequency of the processor each time. Therefore, the process of increasing the setting frequency may be performed a plurality of times. That is, after the set frequency of the processor is increased, if it is considered that the set frequency of the processor needs to be increased, the set frequency of the processor is increased again.
Specifically, when the acquired use condition satisfies the first condition, in a case where the processing effect of the processor can be improved by further increasing the set frequency of the processor, the first information for increasing the set frequency of the processor is generated. On the other hand, when the acquired use condition satisfies the first condition, in a case where the processing effect of the processor cannot be improved even if the setting frequency of the processor is further increased, the first information for increasing the setting frequency of the processor is not generated.
For example, if the processing effect of the processor is not improved after the last processing for increasing the setting frequency, it is considered that the processing effect of the processor cannot be improved even if the setting frequency of the processor is further increased. For example, if the processing effect of the processor is improved after the last processing for increasing the setting frequency, the processing effect of the processor can be improved by further increasing the setting frequency of the processor. Specifically, when the processing effect of the processor is expressed by the refresh rate, in a case where the amount of increase in the refresh rate is smaller than the first preset amount after the processing of increasing the setting frequency in the previous time, it is determined that the processing effect of the processor cannot be increased even if the setting frequency of the processor is further increased, and the third condition is not satisfied. In the case where the amount of increase in the refresh rate is equal to or greater than the first preset amount after the last processing of increasing the setting frequency, it is considered that the processing effect of the processor can be improved by further increasing the setting frequency of the processor, and it is determined that the third condition is satisfied.
In the embodiment of the present invention, when the acquired usage satisfies the first condition, the first information for increasing the setting frequency of the processor is generated in a case where the acquired processing effect satisfies the third condition, and the first information for increasing the setting frequency of the processor is not generated in a case where the acquired processing effect does not satisfy the third condition. Therefore, the setting frequency of the processor can be finally adjusted to ensure the processing effect of the processor and reduce the setting frequency of the finally adjusted processor to the maximum extent. As the setting frequency increases, the state in which the voltage of the processor is unstable and the power increases becomes more serious, and thus the state in which the voltage of the processor is unstable and the power increases can be minimized.
In the embodiment of the present invention, for example, the reduction amount for reducing the setting frequency of the processor at a time is set. Therefore, the process of lowering the setting frequency may be performed a plurality of times. That is, after the set frequency of the processor is lowered, if it is considered that the set frequency of the processor needs to be lowered, the set frequency of the processor is lowered again.
Specifically, when the acquired use condition satisfies the second condition, in a case where the processing effect of the processor is not reduced by further reducing the set frequency of the processor, the second information for reducing the set frequency of the processor is generated. On the other hand, when the acquired use condition satisfies the second condition, in a case where the processing effect of the processor is reduced by further reducing the setting frequency of the processor, the second information for reducing the setting frequency of the processor is not generated.
For example, in the case where the processing effect of the processor is not reduced after the processing of reducing the setting frequency in the previous time, it is considered that the processing effect of the processor is not reduced by further reducing the setting frequency of the processor. For example, if the processing effect of the processor is reduced after the last processing for reducing the setting frequency, it is considered that the processing effect of the processor is reduced by further reducing the setting frequency of the processor. Specifically, when the processing effect of the processor is expressed by the refresh rate, in a case where the reduction amount of the refresh rate is smaller than the second preset amount after the processing of reducing the setting frequency in the previous time, it is determined that the fourth condition is not satisfied by considering that the processing effect of the processor is not reduced by further reducing the setting frequency of the processor. If the reduction amount of the refresh rate is equal to or greater than the second preset amount after the last processing for reducing the setting frequency, it is determined that the fourth condition is satisfied by further reducing the setting frequency of the processor to reduce the processing effect of the processor.
In the embodiment of the present invention, when the acquired usage satisfies the second condition, the second information for reducing the setting frequency of the processor is generated in a case where the acquired processing effect does not satisfy the fourth condition, and the second information for reducing the setting frequency of the processor is not generated in a case where the acquired processing effect satisfies the fourth condition. Therefore, the setting frequency of the processor can be finally adjusted to be capable of reducing the setting frequency of the finally adjusted processor to the maximum extent and ensuring the processing effect of the processor.
Further, the embodiment of the present invention may further include: acquiring a final first setting frequency adjusted when the processor executes the first application; storing the first application in association with the adjusted first set frequency; and setting a set frequency of the processor to a first set frequency stored in association with the first application while the first application is being executed.
For example, when the game application a is executed by the processor, the setting frequency of the processor is adjusted by the above-described method, so that the final first setting frequency adjusted when the game application a is executed by the processor can be acquired. At this time, optionally, the use condition of the processor is acquired for the game application a when the set frequency of the processor is adjusted. After the first set frequency is acquired, the first set frequency is stored in association with the game application a. Thus, when the game application a is executed again by the processor, the setting frequency of the processor is directly set as appropriate to the stored first setting frequency associated with the game application a without adjusting the setting frequency of the processor by the above-described method. Therefore, the processing effect of the processor can be simply improved, and the reduction of the service life of the processor caused by long-term over-frequency can be avoided. The same processing may be executed for another application B, and the adjusted final second setting frequency may be stored in association with the application B. Then, when the application B is executed again by the processor, the setting frequency of the processor is directly set as appropriate to the stored second setting frequency associated with the application B without adjusting the setting frequency of the processor by the above-described method.
Next, an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention will be described with reference to fig. 2. Fig. 2 is a functional block diagram of an electronic device according to an embodiment of the present invention.
As shown in fig. 2, the electronic device 1 comprises a processor 10. The electronic device 1 is, for example, a computer, a digital camera, or the like, as long as it includes a processor 10 capable of adjusting a setting frequency (maximum processing frequency).
Next, the processor 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention will be specifically described. As described above, the processor 10 according to the embodiment of the present invention is, for example, a central processing unit, an image processor, or the like, as long as the set frequency can be adjusted. The processor 10 of the embodiment of the present invention adjusts the set frequency of the processor in response to the information for controlling the set frequency of the processor.
Wherein the information for controlling the setting frequency of the processor is generated according to the acquired use condition of the processor when executing the application. For example, in the embodiment of the present invention, the use case when the processor executes an application is acquired by the controller, and information for controlling the setting frequency of the processor is generated according to the acquired use case. Then, the set frequency of itself is adjusted by the processor in response to information generated by the controller for controlling the set frequency of the processor.
Specifically, the processor 10 increases the set frequency of the processor in response to the first information for increasing the set frequency of the processor, and decreases the set frequency of the processor in response to the second information for decreasing the set frequency of the processor. Wherein the first information is generated if the obtained usage satisfies a first condition, and the second information is generated if the obtained usage satisfies a second condition. For example, in an embodiment of the present invention, the controller generates first information for increasing the set frequency of the processor in a case where the acquired use case satisfies a first condition, and generates second information for decreasing the set frequency of the processor in a case where the acquired use case satisfies a second condition.
For example, the controller generates first information for increasing the set frequency of the processor in a case where the acquired current usage frequency is equal to or greater than a first predetermined frequency, and generates second information for decreasing the set frequency of the processor in a case where the acquired current usage frequency is less than a second predetermined frequency. For another example, the controller generates first information for increasing the set frequency of the processor in a case where the acquired processor usage is equal to or greater than a first threshold, and generates second information for decreasing the set frequency of the processor in a case where the acquired processor usage is less than a second threshold. The first condition may be set to be another condition, and a case where the first condition is satisfied may indicate a case where the processing effect of the processor needs to be ensured by increasing the setting frequency of the processor. Similarly, the second condition may be set to be another condition, and a case where the second condition is satisfied may indicate a case where the processing effect of the processor is not required to be ensured by increasing the frequency of setting the processor.
In the embodiment of the present invention, it is preferable that the information for controlling the setting frequency of the processor is generated according to the acquired usage situation of the processor when executing the application and the acquired processing effect of the processor when executing the application. For example, the controller acquires a processing effect when the processor executes an application, and generates information for controlling a set frequency of the processor according to the acquired use and processing effect.
Specifically, the first information for increasing the setting frequency of the processor is generated in a case where the acquired use condition satisfies the first condition and the acquired processing effect satisfies the third condition, and the second information for decreasing the setting frequency of the processor is generated in a case where the acquired use condition satisfies the second condition and the acquired processing effect does not satisfy the fourth condition. For example, the controller generates first information for increasing the setting frequency of the processor in a case where the acquired use condition satisfies a first condition and the acquired processing effect satisfies a third condition, and generates second information for decreasing the setting frequency of the processor in a case where the acquired use condition satisfies a second condition and the acquired processing effect does not satisfy a fourth condition.
In the embodiment of the present invention, for example, an increase amount is set to increase the setting frequency of the processor each time. Therefore, the process of increasing the setting frequency may be performed a plurality of times. That is, after the set frequency of the processor is increased, if it is considered that the set frequency of the processor needs to be increased, the set frequency of the processor is increased again.
Specifically, when the acquired use condition satisfies the first condition, in a case where the processing effect of the processor can be improved by further increasing the set frequency of the processor, the first information for increasing the set frequency of the processor is generated. On the other hand, when the acquired use condition satisfies the first condition, in a case where the processing effect of the processor cannot be improved even if the setting frequency of the processor is further increased, the first information for increasing the setting frequency of the processor is not generated.
For example, if the processing effect of the processor is not improved after the last processing for increasing the setting frequency, it is considered that the processing effect of the processor cannot be improved even if the setting frequency of the processor is further increased. For example, if the processing effect of the processor is improved after the last processing for increasing the setting frequency, the processing effect of the processor can be improved by further increasing the setting frequency of the processor. Specifically, when the processing effect of the processor is expressed by the refresh rate, in a case where the amount of increase in the refresh rate is smaller than the first preset amount after the processing of increasing the setting frequency in the previous time, it is determined that the processing effect of the processor cannot be increased even if the setting frequency of the processor is further increased, and the third condition is not satisfied. In the case where the amount of increase in the refresh rate is equal to or greater than the first preset amount after the last processing of increasing the setting frequency, it is considered that the processing effect of the processor can be improved by further increasing the setting frequency of the processor, and it is determined that the third condition is satisfied.
In the embodiment of the present invention, for example, the reduction amount for reducing the setting frequency of the processor at a time is set. Therefore, the process of lowering the setting frequency may be performed a plurality of times. That is, after the set frequency of the processor is lowered, if it is considered that the set frequency of the processor needs to be lowered, the set frequency of the processor is lowered again.
Specifically, when the acquired use condition satisfies the second condition, in a case where the processing effect of the processor is not reduced by further reducing the set frequency of the processor, the second information for reducing the set frequency of the processor is generated. On the other hand, when the acquired use condition satisfies the second condition, in a case where the processing effect of the processor is reduced by further reducing the setting frequency of the processor, the second information for reducing the setting frequency of the processor is not generated.
For example, in the case where the processing effect of the processor is not reduced after the processing of reducing the setting frequency in the previous time, it is considered that the processing effect of the processor is not reduced by further reducing the setting frequency of the processor. For example, if the processing effect of the processor is reduced after the last processing for reducing the setting frequency, it is considered that the processing effect of the processor is reduced by further reducing the setting frequency of the processor. Specifically, when the processing effect of the processor is expressed by the refresh rate, in a case where the reduction amount of the refresh rate is smaller than the second preset amount after the processing of reducing the setting frequency in the previous time, it is determined that the fourth condition is not satisfied by considering that the processing effect of the processor is not reduced by further reducing the setting frequency of the processor. If the reduction amount of the refresh rate is equal to or greater than the second preset amount after the last processing for reducing the setting frequency, it is determined that the fourth condition is satisfied by further reducing the setting frequency of the processor to reduce the processing effect of the processor.
Here, the controller may be constituted by the processor 10 itself. For example, in the case where the processor 10 is a central processor, the central processor generates information for controlling the set frequency of the central processor based on the acquired use condition of the central processor. Then, the central processing unit adjusts its own set frequency based on the information for controlling the set frequency of the central processing unit generated by itself.
The controller may be formed separately from the processor 10. That is, the controller and the processor are different hardware. For example, the processor is a graphics processor, and the controller generates information for controlling a set frequency of the graphics processor according to the acquired usage of the graphics processor and then transmits the information to the graphics processor. Then, the setting frequency of itself is adjusted by the graphic processor based on the information from the controller. In this case, the controller may be constituted by a central processing unit. For another example, the processor is a central processing unit, and the controller generates information for controlling the set frequency of the central processing unit according to the use condition of the central processing unit acquired from the central processing unit, and then transmits the information to the central processing unit. Then, the central processor adjusts its own set frequency based on the information from the controller.
Returning to fig. 2, the electronic device 1 of the embodiment of the present invention may further include a memory 11. Specifically, the memory 11 is configured to store the first application in association with the final first set frequency adjusted when the processor 10 executes the first application. For example, the controller acquires a final first setting frequency adjusted when the processor executes a first application, and controls the memory 11 to store the first application in association with the adjusted first setting frequency.
While the processor 10 is executing the first application, the set frequency of the processor is set to a first set frequency stored in the memory in association with the first application. For example, the set frequency of the processor is set to a first set frequency stored in association with the first application while the first application is being executed. Specifically, an instruction to set a set frequency of the processor to a first set frequency stored in association with the first application may be generated by the controller and transmitted to the processor. The processor 10 sets its own set frequency to a first set frequency in response to an instruction received from the controller. In addition, the processor may also read a first setting frequency stored in association with the first application, and set the first setting frequency of itself according to the read first setting frequency.
Similarly, the controller may be constituted by the processor 10 itself, or may be formed separately from the processor 10.
For example, when the game application a is executed by the processor, the setting frequency of the processor is adjusted by the above-described method, so that the final first setting frequency adjusted when the game application a is executed by the processor can be acquired. At this time, optionally, the use condition of the processor is acquired for the game application a when the set frequency of the processor is adjusted. After the first set frequency is acquired, the first set frequency is stored in association with the game application a. Thus, when the game application a is executed again by the processor, the setting frequency of the processor is directly set as appropriate to the stored first setting frequency associated with the game application a without adjusting the setting frequency of the processor by the above-described method. Therefore, the processing effect of the processor can be simply improved, and the reduction of the service life of the processor caused by long-term over-frequency can be avoided. The same processing may be executed for another application B, and the adjusted final second setting frequency may be stored in association with the application B. Then, when the application B is executed again by the processor, the setting frequency of the processor is directly set as appropriate to the stored second setting frequency associated with the application B without adjusting the setting frequency of the processor by the above-described method.
According to the processor 10 and the electronic apparatus 1 of the embodiment of the present invention, the setting frequency of the processor is adjusted according to the use situation when the processor executes the application. For example, if it is determined that the performance of the processor needs to be improved to ensure the processing effect, the setting frequency of the processor is increased, whereas if it is determined that the performance of the processor does not need to be improved to ensure the processing effect, the setting frequency of the processor is decreased, thereby preventing the reduction in the lifetime of the processor due to the long-term over-clocking.
Various embodiments of the present invention are described in detail above. However, those skilled in the art will appreciate that various modifications, combinations, or sub-combinations of the embodiments may be made without departing from the spirit and principle of the invention, and such modifications are intended to be within the scope of the invention.
