ABSTRACT:
Circuits, methods, and apparatus for graphically displaying performance metrics of processors such as graphics processing units in multiple processor systems. Embodiments of the present invention may provide metric information regarding operations in alternate-frame rendering, split-frame rendering, or other modes of operation. One embodiment of the present invention provides data in split-frame rendering mode including load balancing, graphics processing unit utilization, frame rate, and other types of system information in a graphical manner. Another exemplary embodiment of the present invention provides graphical information regarding graphics processing unit utilization, frame rate, and other system information while operating in the alternate-frame rendering mode.
