Abstract: Systems, methods, and computer programs are disclosed for scheduling tasks in a heterogeneous processor cluster architecture in a portable computing device. One embodiment is a system comprising a first processor cluster and a second processor cluster. The first processor cluster comprises a first shared cache, and the second processor cluster comprises a second shared cache. The system further comprises a controller in communication with the first and second processor clusters for performing task migration between the first and second processor clusters. The controller initiates execution of a task on a first processor in the first processor cluster. The controller monitors a processor workload for the first processor and a cache demand associated with the first shared cache while the task is running on the first processor in the first processor cluster. The controller migrates the task to the second processor cluster based on the processor workload and the cache demand.

Abstract: Various embodiments of methods and systems for energy efficiency aware thermal management in a portable computing device that contains a heterogeneous, multi-processor system on a chip (“SoC”) are disclosed. Because individual processing components in a heterogeneous, multi-processor SoC may exhibit different processing efficiencies at a given temperature, energy efficiency aware thermal management techniques that compare performance data of the individual processing components at their measured operating temperatures can be leveraged to optimize quality of service (“QoS”) by adjusting the power supplies to, reallocating workloads away from, or transitioning the power mode of, the least energy efficient processing components. In these ways, embodiments of the solution optimize the average amount of power consumed across the SoC to process a MIPS of workload.

Abstract: A dynamic cache extension in a multi-cluster heterogeneous processor architecture is described. One embodiment is a system comprising a first processor cluster having a first level two (L2) cache and a second processor cluster having a second L2 cache. The system further comprises a controller in communication with the first and second L2 caches. The controller receives a processor workload input and a cache workload input from the first processor cluster. Based on processor workload input and the cache workload input, the cache controller determines whether a current task associated with the first processor cluster is limited by a size threshold of the first L2 cache or a performance threshold of the first processor cluster. If the current task is limited by the size threshold of the first L2 cache, the controller uses at least a portion of the second L2 cache as an extension of the first L2 cache.

Abstract: Systems and methods for dynamically adjusting an input parameter, such as power supply level, to a shared power domain in a portable computing device are disclosed. The power domain includes a plurality of processing resources that share the power source. The power supply level is reduced based on a critical core vote pool derived from votes from the plurality of processing resources. The critical core vote pool is narrowed from all the votes by disqualifying votes based on the operating status of the associated processing resources. For example, because inactive processing resources may be unaffected by a change in the voltage level to the shared domain, and because certain active processing resources are in a position to adjust to a power change dictated by another processing resource, such processing resources may be considered noncritical and their votes disqualified from consideration.

Abstract: Various embodiments of methods and systems for balancing user experience in a multimedia conferencing community are disclosed. An exemplary embodiment envisions a portable computing device (“PCD”) receiving data indicative of one or more visual multimedia parameter settings in a companion PCD of the community. Based on the received data, the PCD may determine an adjustment to the settings of one or more of its own visual multimedia parameters such that a multimedia output in the form of a data packet stream is adjusted. In this way, the PCD may conserve power consumption by avoiding unnecessary multimedia workload processing for encoding a multimedia output that would not benefit the quality of service (“QoS”) delivered by the companion PCD. Additionally, by optimizing the quality of the multimedia output in view of the companion device parameter settings, the PCD may allocate more of its power budget to improving its own QoS level.
