Abstract
The invention provides a method for adaptively adjusting a framerate of a graphic processing unit (GPU). For example, when the GPU workload is high and the temperature of the GPU is close to high temperature, the framerate can be decreased to reduce the workload; when the GPU workload is low, the framerate can be permitted to increase to raise the workload. By the present invention, the GPU is permitted to operate at maximum temperature. The method comprises the steps of: (a) receiving an execution parameter associated with at least one GPU; (b) comparing if the execution parameter is greater than a first reference value; and (c) in the event the execution parameter is greater than the first reference value, increasing a sleep time and power-gating the at least one GPU based on the sleep time to adjust the framerate.
