Sample App
The ADPF sample app
demonstrates the basic use of the ADPF API.
Figure 1. ADPF Demo Game Application
The sample displays the device's thermal status using the ADPF
getThermalHeadroom
API and the thermal status
API. The app also dynamically changes the workload based on the Thermal headroom
and the Performance Hint Manager API
to control render thread performance.
Codelab
The Integrating Adaptability Features Into Your C++ Game
codelab guides you to integrate ADPF features into your game with simple steps
that you can follow at your own pace. At the end of the codelab, you will have
integrated the following features and will better understand their
functionalities:
Thermal API: listen to device thermal condition and react before the device falls into thermal throttling state.
Game Mode API: understand player's optimization preference (maximize performance or preserving battery) and adjust accordingly.
Game State API: let the system know the state of your game (loading, playing, UI, etc) and the system can adjust resources accordingly (boost I/O, or CPU, GPU, etc).
Performance Hint API: let the system know your threading model and workload so that the system can allocate resources accordingly.
