Method and apparatus for improving responsiveness of a power management system in a computing device
TLDR
In this paper, a computer system periodically determines utilization information for the computer system and adjusts the performance state according to the utilization information, and if a performance increase is required, the system always goes to the maximum performance state.Abstract:
A computer system has multiple performance states. The computer system periodically determines utilization information for the computer system and adjusts the performance state according to the utilization information. If a performance increase is required, the computer system always goes to the maximum performance state. If a performance decrease is required, the computer system steps the performance state down to a next lower performance state.read more
