    Abstract: An image processing apparatus including first circuitry, second circuitry, third circuitry, and fourth circuitry is provided. The first circuitry determines a frame miss rate according to a current frame rate and a target frame rate of an image signal. The second circuitry decreases the target frame rate to the current frame rate when the frame miss rate is greater than a first threshold. The third circuitry increases the target frame rate to an upper-limit frame rate which is determined according to the frame rendering time or memory bandwidth capability, when the frame miss rate is less than a second threshold which is smaller than the first threshold. The fourth circuitry applies the decreased or increased target frame rate for an image to be displayed.

    Abstract: A deep learning accelerator (DLA) includes processing elements (PEs) grouped into PE groups to perform convolutional neural network (CNN) computations, by applying multi-dimensional weights on an input activation to produce an output activation. The DLA also includes a dispatcher which dispatches input data in the input activation and non-zero weights in the multi-dimensional weights to the processing elements according to a control mask. The DLA also includes a buffer memory which stores the control mask which specifies positions of zero weights in the multi-dimensional weights. The PE groups generate output data of respective output channels in the output activation, and share a same control mask specifying same positions of the zero weights.

    Abstract: Methods and apparatus are provided for chip aware thermal policies. The thermal performance mapping information is generated. The process obtains a set of process-dependent power data for each process corner of a semiconductor chip, profiles performance data, and selects an operating thermal policy based on the performance data. The thermal policy, based on the process-dependent power data is a mapping formula, or a combination of a mapping formula and a mapping table. The chip aware thermal control is based on process-dependent power data of process corners. The mapping information of process-dependent power data to a corresponding thermal policy is stored in a memory. A thermal policy is applied based on the stored mapping information and an obtained process corner information. The mapping information is applied every time the thermal policy is needed or at boot-up time.
