Abstract
A disclosed method includes employing a hybrid context sensing protocol to learn power and video capabilities of a platform to perform seamless graphics remediations, providing a video management module to handle video policies and thermal attributes for seamless recovery of video capabilities across firmware updates/rollbacks, and implementing a hybrid video firmware (HVF) to create a virtual video domain to partially or fully utilize video capabilities based on platform power budgeting policies. The method may further include maintaining a silicon agnostic protected sync of a map between the video random access memory (VRAM) and GPU memory to ensure seamless High Bandwidth Digital Content Protect (HDCP) capability rendering on targeted video devices. The method further comprises using a system on chip (SoC)-agnostic runtime VRAM for uninterrupted graphics rendering across integrated graphics processing unit (iGPU) to discrete GPU (dGPU) transitions or switches.
