Abstract: Systems, apparatuses, and methods for performing a software override of a power estimation mechanism are disclosed. A computing system includes a plurality of tuned parameters for generating an estimate of power consumption. The tuned parameters are generated based on post-silicon characterization of the system. After deployment, the system executes a plurality of different applications. When launching a particular application, the system loads a corresponding set of override parameters which are used to replace the plurality of tuned parameters. The system generates an estimate of power consumption using the set of override parameters rather than the previously determined tuned parameters. Then while executing the particular application, the system makes adjustments to power and frequency values for the various system components based on the estimate of power consumption.

Further, the criteria are analyzed using NLP techniques to determine a respective confidence level for each respective criterion, where the confidence level indicates a degree of certainty that the criterion is applicable to the trial. A knowledge graph is generated based at least in part on the clinical trial, where the confidence level assigned to each criterion is included in the knowledge graph for subsequent use. Finally, one or more therapies in the knowledge graph are selected to be recommended, based on a patient profile and the confidence level assigned to each of the criteria.
