Abstract
A computer can control a target device using a packet format described herein. In one example, an extension packet controls the target device in at least one of power consumption, image rendering, and register updating.
Claims24
A computer-implemented method comprising:
- receiving a communication, wherein the communication is to control a target device in one or more of, or a combination of, power consumption and image display, wherein the communication includes a header and a payload and wherein the header includes (i) a first portion that defines a generation number of the communication and (ii) a second portion that indicates a payload size and the communication includes a portion that defines a command;
- and
- configuring the target device based at least in part on the communication.
A system comprising:
- a display;
- and
- a computer system communicatively coupled to the display, the computer system comprising a multi-core processor, a graphics processor, and an output logic, wherein:
- the computer system is to request to form a communication, wherein the communication is to control a target device in at least one or more of power consumption and image display, wherein the communication is to include a header and a payload and wherein the header is to include (i) a first portion that is to define a generation number of the communication and (ii) a second portion that is to indicate a payload size and the communication is to include a portion that is to define a command;
- and
- the computer system is to request to transmit the communication to the target device by use of the output logic.
3 more elements
At least one article of manufacture including a machine readable medium having instructions stored thereon, which when executed cause:
- at least one machine to request to form a communication, wherein the communication is to control a target device in at least one or more of power consumption and image display, wherein the communication includes a header and a payload and wherein the header includes (i) a first portion that defines a generation number of the communication and (ii) a second portion that indicates a payload size and the communication includes a portion that defines a command;
- and
- at least one machine to request to transmit the communication to the target device.
An apparatus comprising:
- a processor system comprising a multi-core processor and a graphics processor, wherein:
- the processor system is configure to request to form a communication, wherein the communication is to control a target device in at least one or more of power consumption and image display, wherein the communication is to include a header and a payload and wherein the header is to include (i) a first portion that is to define a generation number of the communication and (ii) a second portion that is to indicate a payload size and the communication is to include a portion that is to define a command;
- and
- the processor system is configured to request to transmit the communication to the target device.
1 more element
An apparatus configured to:
- receive a communication, wherein the communication is to control a target device in one or more of, or a combination of, power consumption and image display, wherein the communication is to include a header and a payload and wherein the header is to include (i) a first portion that is to define a generation number of the communication and (ii) a second portion that is to indicate a payload size and the communication is to include a portion that is to define a command;
- and
- configure the target device based at least in part on the communication.
