Abstract

A graphics processing unit (GPU) adjusts a frequency of clock based on identifying a program thread executing at the processing unit, wherein the program thread is detected based on a workload to be executed. By adjusting the clock frequency based on the identified program thread, the processing unit adapts to different processing demands of different program threads. Further, by identifying the program thread based on workload, the processing unit adapts the clock frequency based on processing demands, thereby conserving processing resources.
