This may be undesirable for very fast fps\noperating modes where it could significantly increase the computation\ncycles (per unit time) without providing any significant changes to the\nIQ parameters. The added latencies could also cause dropped frames.\n\nPass the FrameBuffer timestamp to the IPA through the controls. This\ntimestamp will be used to rate-limit the controller algorithms to run\nwith a minimum inter-frame time given by a compile time constant,\ncurrently set to 16.66ms. On startup, we don't rate-limit the algorithms\nuntil after the number of frames required for convergence.\n\nSigned-off-by: Naushir Patuck \nReviewed-by: David Plowman \n---\n src/ipa/raspberrypi/raspberrypi.cpp | 48 +++++++++++++++++--\n .../pipeline/raspberrypi/raspberrypi.cpp | 5 ++\n 2 files changed, 49 insertions(+), 4 deletions(-)","diff":"diff --git a/src/ipa/raspberrypi/raspberrypi.cpp b/src/ipa/raspberrypi/raspberrypi.cpp\nindex f6d1ab16a290..a9b7bb1acb92 100644\n--- a/src/ipa/raspberrypi/raspberrypi.cpp\n+++ b/src/ipa/raspberrypi/raspberrypi.cpp\n@@ -61,6 +61,14 @@ constexpr unsigned int DefaultExposureTime = 20000;\n constexpr double defaultMinFrameDuration = 1e6 / 30.0;\n constexpr double defaultMaxFrameDuration = 1e6 / 0.01;\n \n+/*\n+ * Determine the minimum allowable inter-frame duration (in us) to run the\n+ * controller algorithms.
