Add support for GuC-based SLPC

[Date Prev][Date Next][Thread Prev][Thread Next][Date Index][Thread Index]

 



SLPC (Single Loop Power Controller) is a replacement for
some host-based power management features.  The SLPC
implementation runs in firmware on GuC.

This series has been tested with SKL GuC firmware
version 9.18 which is yet to be released. Performance and
power testing with these patches and 9.18 firmware is at
parity and in some cases better than host solution today
on various Linux benchmarks.

The graphics power management features in SLPC in this
version are called GTPERF, BALANCER, and DCC.

GTPERF is a combination of DFPS (Dynamic FPS) and Turbo.
DFPS adjusts requested graphics frequency to maintain
target framerate.  Turbo adjusts requested graphics
frequency to maintain target GT busyness; this includes
an adaptive boost turbo method.

BALANCER adjusts balance between power budgets for IA
and GT in power limited scenarios.  BALANCER is only
active when all display pipes are in "game" mode.

DCC (Duty Cycle Control) adjusts requested graphics
frequency and stalls guc-scheduler to maintain actual
graphics frequency in efficient range.

The last series can be found in the archive at
" [PATCH v4 00/21] Add support for GuC-based SLPC"
https://lists.freedesktop.org/archives/intel-gfx/2016-April/094445.html

This series incorporates feedback from code reviews on earlier series.
It drops the display mode notification patches as it is not needed for
Turbo part of GTPERF. This series also adds new interface changes for
SLPC support on 9.18 GuC Firmware which is not yet published.
Will like to get review started prior to firmware is published.

With SLPC disabled by default, this series should be 
safe to merge now and it can be enabled when 9.18 firmware is released. 

v2: Addressed review comments on v1. Removed patch to enable SLPC by default.
