Abstract
Approaches provided herein are directed to intelligently boosting, in a power efficient manner, CPU frequency in response to a touch gesture event. In some approaches, for example, a governor of a processor receives an instruction hint (e.g., an interaction hint or a vertical synchronization (VSYNC) hint) from a power hardware abstraction layer (HAL), the instruction hint provided in response to at least one of: a scrolling touch gesture to a user interface, and an application launch touch gesture. In another embodiment, an instruction hint is received at the governor in response to a discrete touch gesture to the user interface. In each case, a clock frequency corresponding to the processor is modified to optimize performance and user experience, while maximizing energy conservation.
