A graphics display processing device including: a graphics processor that executes GPU instructions based on a primary drawing instruction and a secondary drawing instruction; an acquirer) that acquires the primary drawing instruction and the secondary drawing instruction; an estimator that calculates an estimated GPU processing time required for executing the GPU instructions; a determiner that determines, using the estimated GPU processing time, which of the primary drawing instruction and the secondary drawing instruction is to be executed first; an issuance controller that performs a control when the primary drawing instruction is to be executed first, causing the primary drawing instruction to be issued and issuance of the secondary drawing instruction to be postponed; an instruction issuer that issues each drawing instruction according to the control of the issuance controller; and a graphics driver that generates the GPU instructions by executing each drawing instruction issued.

Graphics display processing device, graphics display processing method, and vehicle equipped with graphics display processing device

A virtual machine control apparatuscontrols execution of a first type virtual machine Aand a second type virtual machine. The first type virtual machine Aincludes a start detection unitwhich detects an operation in the first type virtual machine Ato start usage of a device (external storage device). The first type virtual machine Aalso includes a start signal output unitwhich outputs a start signal when the start detection unitdetects the operation to start usage of the device. The second type virtual machineincludes a control unit (external storage device driver) which, when the start signal output unitoutputs the start signal while the device is in set in a low power mode (electrical power set to off), sets the device in a normal mode (electrical power set to on).

Virtual machine control apparatus and virtual machine control method

A total power saving controller AAjudges whether two or more predetermined number of virtual computers AAare in a power saving state, referring to a virtual computer information table BB, in the case where the total power saving controller AAreceives, from one of the virtual computers AA, a shift request requesting shifting the virtual computer AAfrom the power saving state thereof. A device control changer AAdecides, out of all devices AAcorresponding to the virtual computers AAin the power saving state, one of the devices to be operated as an operating device, and the rest of the devices as a degraded device, for causing the operating device to perform a degraded control of the degraded device, in the case where the total power saving controller AAjudges that all the virtual computers AAare in the power saving state.
