Abstract: A method and apparatus are described for performing multiplication in a processor to generate a product. In one embodiment, a 64-bit multiplier and a 64-bit multiplicand may be multiplied together over four cycles by merging different partial product (PP) subsets, generated by a Booth encoder and a PP generator, with feedback sum and carry results. The logic inputs of a plurality of multiplexers may be selected on a cyclical basis to efficiently compress (i.e., merge) each PP subset with feedback sum and carry results. A pair of preliminary sum results stored during one cycle may be outputted during a subsequent cycle and processed by a logic gate (e.g., an XOR gate) to generate a feedback sum result that is merged with a feedback carry result and a PP subset. Final sum and carry results may be added to generate the product of the multiplier and the multiplicand.

In one example, an effective clock frequency of the integrated circuit in the current sampling interval is determined. In one example, the difference between the maximum and effective clock frequencies in the current sampling interval is proportional to the difference between the threshold and actual power consumption levels in the previous sampling interval.
