Abstract
Disclosed are an apparatus and a method for processing data, capable of controlling the use of a graphic controller based on data usage in a memory, a variation speed of a memory data value, and/or operating states/conditions of a system.
Claims27
An apparatus for processing data, the apparatus comprising:
- a central processing unit;
- at least one memory unit;
- and
- a graphic/memory controller coupled to the central processing unit and the memory unit, wherein the graphic/memory controller is configured to control a system by taking into consideration a data usage of the memory unit or at least one operating condition/state of the system.
1 more element
A method for processing data, the method comprising:
- setting a data usage of at least one controller;
- processing data through a first controller;
- determining if a data usage of the first controller is within a range of a preset data usage;
- processing data by using at least one of the first controller and a second controller if the data usage of the first controller exceeds the preset data usage;
- determining if a data usage of the first and second controllers is within the range of the preset data usage;
- and
- processing data by using at least one of the first controller, the second controller, and a third controller if the data usage by the first and second controllers exceeds the preset data usage.
4 more elements
A method for processing data, the method comprising:
- setting a data usage of at least one controller;
- processing data through a first controller;
- determining if a data usage of the first controller is within a range of a preset data usage;
- and
- processing data by using at least one controller together with the first controller if the data usage of the first controller exceeds the preset data usage.
2 more elements
A method for processing data, the method comprising:
- setting operating modes, in which at least one controller is operated, by talking into consideration at least one of operating conditions and states of a system;
- processing data through a first operating mode;
- determining if data processing through the first operating mode satisfies the operating conditions and states;
- and
- processing the data through another operating mode if the data processing through the first operating mode does not satisfy the operating conditions and states.
2 more elements
An apparatus for processing data, the apparatus comprising:
- a central processing unit;
- a controller configured to control a peripheral device;
- a memory unit;
- and
- a system including a plurality of graphic/memory controllers connected to the memory unit in which at least one of the graphic/memory controllers is adaptively selected by using information about a variation speed of a data value of the memory unit connected to at least one graphic/memory controller.
2 more elements
A method for processing data, the method comprising:
- setting a variation speed of a data value of a memory by at least one controller;
- processing data through a first controller;
- determining if the data are processed through the first controller corresponding to a preset variation speed of the data value of the memory;
- and
- processing the data through at least one controller together with the first controller if the data are processed through the first controller beyond the preset variation speed of the data value of the memory.
2 more elements
A method for processing data, comprising:
- displaying, on a screen, a list of different operation modes for a graphic controller, the different operation modes including at least two of the following:
- a first mode in which the graphic controller is adaptively operated based on only graphic data usage, a second mode in which the graphic controller is adaptively operated based on only an amount of residual battery power, a third mode in which the graphic controller is adaptively operated based on only an application program, and a fourth mode in which the graphic controller is adaptively operated based on only power;
- and
- operating the graphic controller in response to a user's selection of one of the operation modes from the displayed list.
