Abstract:
1. A method for controlling performance of a processor of a device, comprising: determining that the processor has entered a processing state after an idle state, wherein the processor initially operates at a first performance level in the processing state; in response to the processor entering the processing state, monitoring processing time of the processor since entering the processing state; in response to the processing time exceeding a first threshold of time, increasing performance of the processor to a second processing level that is greater than the first processing level; in response to the processing time exceeding a second threshold of time that is greater than the first threshold of time, decreasing performance of the processor to a third processing level that is less than the second processing level but greater than the first level; in response to the processing time exceeding a third threshold of time that is greater than the second threshold of time, increasing performance of the processor to a fourth processing level that is greater than the third processing level.
