Fig. 3 A shows according to installing the schematic diagram of the look-at-me of the bus that arrives graphic process unit place in one embodiment of the invention from each.Fig. 3 B be presented in Fig. 3 A, rearrange and hive off after the schematic diagram of look-at-me.Fig. 3 C is the schematic diagram showing according to the wake-up signal that in one embodiment of the invention, Monitoring and Controlling unit 222 sends.By Fig. 3 A, can be learnt, by the time interval between the look-at-me 310 and 320 of time schedule controller 240 graphic process unit that is issued to 220 be 1/30 second (Yi Jiqi chronomere is about a millisecond grade), and originally may be distributed between this interval of 1/30 second from the look-at-me 311~313 of other device.Look-at-me after Monitoring and Controlling unit 222 rearranges is as shown in Figure 3 B, wherein the time interval by time schedule controller 240 graphic process unit that is issued to 220 look-at- mes 330 and 340 is also 1/30 second, the look-at-me that should be noted same numeral in Fig. 3 B represents all from same device, and the look-at-me after rearranging is only the use of explanation, the bus activity irrelevant with graphic process unit can be filtered (for example look-at-me 311,312), and only retains the look-at-me (for example look-at-me 310,320,313) relevant with graphic process unit 220.As shown in Figure 3 C, Monitoring and Controlling unit 222 transmits a wake-up signal to graphic process unit 220, use and make graphic process unit 220 in running order when wake-up signal is high logic level (high logic level), wherein the voltage of graphic process unit 220 in working order time is for example 1W.When wake-up signal is low logic level (low logic level), allow graphic process unit 220 for example, in low power consumpting state (sleep state), wherein the voltage of graphic process unit 220 when low power consumpting state is for example 0.001w.More specifically, because install to the look-at-me of graphic process unit 220 and all can rearrange and hive off (grouping) by monitored control module 222 from each, and handle together after being dispensed to the look-at-me being next to from 240 timed sending of time schedule controller, this section have many look-at-mes during in (for example pulse signal 350 and 360), can allow graphic process unit 220 in running order, use and concentrate the operation of carrying out each device to control.During being low logic state at wake-up signal, 220 of graphic process unit enter low power consumpting state.When wake-up signal is during in high logic state, except allowing graphic process unit 220 enter duty, also can be used as a burst control signal (burst control signal) in order to promote the operating frequency (operating frequency) of graphic process unit 220.Further, if the predetermined registration operation frequency of graphic process unit 220 is 1GHz, when wake-up signal is during in high logic state, it is (non-limiting that Monitoring and Controlling unit 222 can be increased to 1.3GHz by the operating frequency of graphic process unit 220, capable of regulating), use burst (burst) graphic process unit 220 and at short notice multiple continuous images (for example 10 or 30 images) are write to video frame buffer 244.
PCI Express * 4 bus of take is example, its frequency range can reach 800MBytes/sec, the operating frequency of adding graphic process unit 220 is 1GHz, graphic process unit 220 is carried out burst and is write image to time of video frame buffer 244 and approximately only have tens of microseconds (μ s), and time schedule controller 240 is sent to the look-at-me of graphic process unit 220 and is about 33 milliseconds (1/30 seconds).With regard to time scale, graphic process unit 220 is carried out burst, and to write the shared time scale of the operation of image very little, so graphic process unit 220 can, in low power consumpting state, be used saving electric power in most of the time.
Hold continuous previous embodiment, can conclude main three functions that draw Monitoring and Controlling of the present invention unit 222: all activities of the bus (PCI-E bus) at (1) monitoring graphic process unit 220 places screening are about the activity of graphic process unit 220; (2) control graphic process unit 220 bursts and write multiple images to video frame buffer 244, use and carry out panel and automatically upgrade; (3) control graphic process unit 220 and enter low power consumpting state.
In one embodiment, Monitoring and Controlling unit 222 continues to monitor the activity of bus, and whether judgement is stored in video frame buffer 244 not enough for the automatic image quantity of upgrading of panel.In simple terms, carrying out the automatic principle of upgrading of panel is can not allow user experience picture produce delay.The demand of Microsoft's " forever open forever connect " (Always On Always Connected) standard of take is example, when graphic process unit 220 is in low power consumpting state, and the higher limit that graphic process unit 220 is got back to the wakeup time (wakeup time) of duty by low power consumpting state is 300 milliseconds.In fact the wakeup time of graphic process unit 220 may be faster, for example 100 milliseconds.
For instance, Monitoring and Controlling unit 222 is controlled graphic process unit 220 bursts and is write 30 images to video frame buffer 244, and display device 250 has the picture update rate of 60 images per second, 30 the complete pictures of real-time sequence controller 240 needs per second of anticipating, every complete picture can split into Shang Tuchang (top field) and figure below field (bottom field), more sequentially release of an interleave (de-interlacing) is carried out to allow display device 250 have the picture update rate of 60 pictures per second in the upper figure field of every complete picture and figure below field by time schedule controller 240.Therefore, display device need to spend 1 second to read 30 stored pictures, reads 33 milliseconds of every picture equispaceds.If the bus at graphic process unit 220 places does not still have activity after 20 images (or 660 milliseconds), because of 660 milliseconds of 300 milliseconds of situations that approached the automatic more kainogenesis demonstration of panel data deficiencies of wakeup time that add graphic process unit 220, now 222 of Monitoring and Controlling unit need to force to wake up graphic process unit 220 bursts and write display frame to video frame buffer 244, to avoid panel automatically to upgrade, have the situation that shows data deficiencies to occur.
In simple terms, Monitoring and Controlling unit 222 needs judgement ahead of time in the upper situation whether display frame deficiency can occur before once waking graphic process unit 220 completely up, if so, 222 of Monitoring and Controlling unit directly wake graphic process unit 220 bursts up and write display frame to video frame buffer 244.If not, 222 of Monitoring and Controlling unit wake up process device 222 is to carry out the instruction from application program or operating system.For the user, no matter in that a kind of situation, all feel that graphic process unit 220 is direct-opens.
Fig. 4 is that demonstration is according to the constitutional diagram of the state machine of the Monitoring and Controlling unit 222 of one embodiment of the invention.In state 410, the movable and screening of the bus (for example PCI-Express bus) at 222 monitoring graphic process unit 220 places, Monitoring and Controlling unit is about the activity of graphic process unit 220.If do not show relevant activity, get back to state 410, Monitoring and Controlling unit 222 continues to monitor the activity of the bus at graphic process unit 220 places.At state 420, following function can be carried out in Monitoring and Controlling unit 222: cycle standby time (the idling time period) Tidle that (a) estimates graphic process unit 220; (b) the demonstration data that 220 bursts of control graphic process unit write sufficient amount, to video frame buffer 244, are enough to carry out panel between estimated cycle standby time and automatically upgrade; (c) control graphic process unit 220 and enter low power state.
At state 430, Monitoring and Controlling unit 220 monitoring following situations: (d) demonstration data deficiencies event (run-out-of-display event) and (e) graphics processing activity (GPU activity), the graphics processing activity for example being started by application program or operating system.When any event not detected, get back to state 430, Monitoring and Controlling unit 222 continues to monitor the life event that shows data deficiencies event and graphic process unit 220.When detecting, event occurs, gets the hang of 440, and Monitoring and Controlling unit 222 is set as high logic state by wake-up signal, uses and allows graphic process unit 220 enter duty by low power consumpting state.If make graphic process unit 220 enter duty because (d) shows data deficiencies event, get back to state 420.If because the life event of (e) graphic process unit 220 makes graphic process unit 220 enter duty, get the hang of 450.At state 450, graphic process unit 220 can for example, within wakeup time (: 300 milliseconds) graphics processing activity that starts of beginning reason application program or operating system.
