The present disclosure relates to methods and apparatus for graphics processing. The apparatus can obtain at least one input image including a plurality of pixels. Additionally, the apparatus can determine shading information for each of the plurality of pixels in the at least one input image. The apparatus can also determine a shading map based on the determined shading information for each of the plurality of pixels in the at least one input image. In some aspects, the apparatus can generate at least one output image based on the at least one input image and the determined shading map. The apparatus can also enhance a quality of the at least one output image. In some aspects, the quality of the at least one output image can be enhanced based on machine learning. Further, the apparatus can generate the at least one input image including the plurality of pixels.

Methods and apparatus for machine learning rendering

An example method of scaling a central processing unit (CPU) frequency of at least one CPU includes tracking an average quantity of graphics library calls made per graphics library draw call per frame of rendering. The method further includes detecting, based on tracking the average quantity of graphics library calls made per graphics library draw call per frame of rendering, a gaming workload on a computing device including a CPU. The method also includes switching the computing device to a gaming mode. Switching the computing device to a gaming mode includes reducing a CPU FMax of the CPU executing on the computing device.

System and method of dynamically throttling CPU frequency for gaming workloads

An apparatus, method, and computer program product for scaling a rendered surface. The apparatus includes a graphics processor configured to render a surface at a source resolution, wherein a scaling parameter is associated with the surface, the scaling parameter defining the source resolution and a destination resolution. The apparatus further includes a display processor configured to scale the rendered surface to the destination resolution. Preferably, the scaling parameters are EGL surface attributes.
