1. An information handling system, comprising:
at least one display device;
at least one graphics processing unit (GPU) that executes graphics resources; and
at least one programmable integrated circuit that is programmed to execute multiple applications concurrently such that each of the concurrently executing multiple applications executes at the same time as each of the other concurrently executing multiple applications and where each of the concurrently executing multiple applications utilizes the graphics resources of the information handling system to display visual images on the display device;
where the at least one programmable integrated circuit is further programmed to perform the following while all of the concurrently executing multiple applications are executing and utilizing the graphics resources of the information handling system at the same time to display visual images on the display device:
designate each application of a first portion of the concurrently executing multiple applications as a target application for a current user of the information handling system such that a second portion of the concurrently executing multiple applications includes all of the remaining concurrently executing multiple applications that are not designated as target applications and that are not included in the first portion of the concurrently executing multiple applications, and
then reduce a graphics frame rate of each application of the second portion of the concurrently executing multiple applications to display visual images on the display device of the information handling system.
