Video analytics may be used to assist video encoding by selectively encoding only portions of a frame and using, instead, previously encoded portions. Previously encoded portions may be used when succeeding frames have a level of motion less than a threshold. In such case, all or part of succeeding frames may not be encoded, increasing bandwidth and speed in some embodiments.

Intelligent MSI-X interrupts for video analytics and encoding

Flexible circuits mountable in a standoff region between a chip carrier, e.g., a ball grid array (BGA) component, and a printed circuit board (PCB) of a surface-mount package are described. In an example, a flexible circuit includes holes to receive pins, e.g., solder balls, of the BGA component, and one or more conductive leads electrically connected to respective solder balls within the holes. The conductive leads may interconnect several solder balls within the standoff region, and may be electrically accessible through a test pad located laterally outward from the standoff region. Electrical signals may be monitored or driven through the test pad, and thus, the flexible circuit may be used as a debug tool for detecting and or correcting a design fault of the surface-mount package.

Analytics assisted encoding

Systems and methods of managing memory devices provide for reduced power consumption and better thermal management through enhanced memory throttling. In one embodiment a memory unit includes a memory device and a temperature measurement module coupled to the memory device. The temperature measurement device measures the internal temperature of the memory device. Memory throttling can therefore be implemented based on more accurate measurements and with a much shorter response time.

Throttling memory in response to an internal temperature of a memory device

An embodiment of the present invention is a technique to dynamically swap processor cores. A first core has a first instruction set. The first core executes a program at a first performance level. The first core stops executing the program when a triggering event occurs. A second core has a second instruction set compatible with the first instruction set and has a second performance level different than the first performance level. The second core is in a power down state when the first core is executing the program. A circuit powers up the second core after the first core stops executing the program such that the second core continues executing the program at the second performance level.

Memory controller for video analytics and encoding

Various methods, apparatuses, and systems are described in which a chipset controller has circuitry to control communications with a peripheral device in a computing device. The chipset controller has logic configured 1) to detect a plug-in event when the peripheral device connects to the chipset controller and 2) to transition the chipset controller from a low power consumption state to a higher power consumption state based on the logic detecting the plug-in event.
