Linux Games/Apps Might Get Greater Control Over GPU Frequency On Intel Hardware
Chris Wilson of Intel's Linux graphics driver team posted a big set of 36 patches on Wednesday for their DRM kernel driver.
The 36 patches conclude with supporting per-context user requests for GPU frequency control. Basically it's for allowing games or applications -- like multimedia programs -- to opt-in to trying to select/request their GPU frequency rather than leaving it up to the driver. In performance-sensitive situations like games or video playback, this may be beneficial for delivering a more desirable experience if the application/engine has the logic for better determining how fast/slow of a GPU it can get by with for processing.
