To create the best possible player experiences,\ndevelopers need tools to balance high frame rates with sustainable power\nconsumption. The Android Dynamic Performance Framework (ADPF) provides a crucial\nset of APIs that allow games to interact directly with the power and thermal\nsystems of a device, enabling this fine-tuned optimization.\n\nUNISOC is embracing these tools to deliver superior gaming on its SoCs. Starting\nwith Android 14, UNISOC products fully support core ADPF APIs, including\nPerformance Hint, Thermal, and Game Mode/State. To further enhance performance\non its SoCs, UNISOC utilizes these ADPF APIs within its own UNISOC Miracle\nGaming engine to monitor system workloads and dynamically adjust performance,\nensuring a smoother and more stable gaming experience.\nFigure 1: UNISOC Miracle Gaming\n\nOptimizing Performance and Thermals with ADPF\n---------------------------------------------\n\nUNISOC's implementation of ADPF gives developers powerful tools to manage game\nperformance in real-time.\n\n- **Performance Hint:** The `PerformanceHintManager` allows applications to pass\n information to the system, enabling the SoC to allocate the right amount of\n resources at the right time. By providing hints about workloads and reporting\n the actual duration of frames, games can help the system dynamically accelerate\n drawing and layer composition, leading to more consistent performance.\n\n- **Thermal API:** To prevent disruptive thermal throttling, developers can use\n the `getThermalHeadroom()` API. This function provides a prediction of the\n device's thermal state, allowing an application to proactively adjust its\n workload before overheating occurs. This foresight is key to stabilizing the\n game's frame rate during intense, long-lasting sessions.\n\n- **Game Mode and Game State APIs:** These APIs improve communication between\n the game and the system. `GameMode` allows users to signal their intent (e.g.,\n choosing a \"performance\" setting in the game), while `GameState` lets the game\n inform the OS of its current status (e.g., loading, playing, etc.). Under the\n hood, the system can then leverage interventions like Game Resolution Scaling\n and Game FPS Overrides to optimize performance based on this context.\n\nDelivering Improved Frame Rates and Power Efficiency\n----------------------------------------------------\n\nThe integration of ADPF on UNISOC SoCs delivers tangible improvements in frame\nrates, power consumption, and the overall gaming experience. In tests with the\npopular title LineageW from NCSOFT, the benefits were clear across various\ngraphics settings.\n\nAt medium graphics quality, the game achieved a significant **28.1% frame rate\nboost** while simultaneously **decreasing power consumption by 3.7%**, achieving\nthe dual benefits of a smoother experience and improved efficiency.\n\nThe results at other settings were also impressive:\n\n- At high graphics settings, the frame rate soared by an impressive **50.1%**\n with only a minor 3.1% increase in power draw, showcasing ADPF's ability to\n unlock significant performance headroom.\n\n- At low graphics settings, players saw an **11.5% increase in frame rate** with\n a corresponding **9.9% increase in power consumption**, demonstrating\n performance gains even on less demanding configurations.\n\nFigure 2: Low Graphics Frame Rate Figure 3: Mid Graphics Frame Rate Figure 4: High Graphics Frame Rate Figure 5: Power Consumption\n\nFurthermore, UNISOC demonstrates an \"Adaptive Optimization\" feature. When a user\nenables this option, the application can automatically adjust graphical elements\nlike texture, foliage, and effect quality in response to system feedback,\nensuring the delivery of a more stable frame rate.\n\nWhat's next for adaptive performance on UNISOC SoCs\n---------------------------------------------------\n\nUNISOC is committed to deepening its integration with ADPF. As the framework\nevolves, the UNISOC Miracle Gaming engine will continue to incorporate the\nlatest core ADPF features, ensuring that developers and gamers benefit from the\nmost up-to-date performance and thermal management technologies on\nUNISOC-powered devices.\n\nGet started with Android adaptability\n-------------------------------------\n\nThe Android Dynamic Performance Framework is now available to all Android game\ndevelopers for [Unity, Unreal, Cocos Creator game engines](/games/optimize/adpf/game-engine-support) and through native\nC++ libraries.\n\n- For **Unity** developers, you can get started with the\n [Adaptive Performance provider v5.0.0.](https://docs.unity3d.com/Packages/com.unity.adaptiveperformance.google.android@1.2/manual/index.html) Note that the Thermal API is\n supported by most Android devices from Android 11 (API level 30), and the\n Performance Hint API from Android 12 (API level 31).\n\n- For **Unreal** developers, you can get started with the\n [Android Dynamic Performance Unreal Engine plugin](https://github.com/android/adpf-unreal-plugin) for most Android devices\n targeting Android 12 (API level 31) or higher.\n\n- For **Cocos Creator** , you can get started with the Thermal API from v3.8.2\n and the Performance Hint API from [v3.8.3.](https://github.com/cocos/cocos-engine/tree/v3.8.3)\n\n- For custom engines, you can reference the [native ADPF C++ sample](https://github.com/android/games-samples/tree/main/agdk/adpf)."]]
