      x86 platform driver: intelligent power sharing driver · aa7ffc01
      Jesse Barnes 提交于
      Intel Core i3/5 platforms with integrated graphics support both CPU and
      GPU turbo mode.  CPU turbo mode is opportunistic: the CPU will use any
      available power to increase core frequencies if thermal headroom is
      available.  The GPU side is more manual however; the graphics driver
      must monitor GPU power and temperature and coordinate with a core
      thermal driver to take advantage of available thermal and power headroom
      in the package.
      
      The intelligent power sharing (IPS) driver is intended to coordinate
      this activity by monitoring MCP (multi-chip package) temperature and
      power, allowing the CPU and/or GPU to increase their power consumption,
      and thus performance, when possible.  The goal is to maximize
      performance within a given platform's TDP (thermal design point).
