  • Publication number: 20210004068
    Abstract: Electrical design current throttling, including: applying an electrical design current (EDC) threshold for each control processing unit component of a plurality of the central processing unit components responsive to the corresponding priority of each central processing unit component, the priority of a central processing unit component responsive to a central processing unit component's current usage data.

  • Publication number: 20160306406
    Abstract: A power management controller tracks the idle state of a compute unit and compares the tracked idle state with a first threshold. If the tracked idle state is above the first threshold a power state of the compute unit is limited to a low power state so that the power state does not rise due to activity that occurs in low utilization scenarios. The tracked idle state is compared to a second threshold and if the tracked idle state is below the second threshold, indicating that the compute unit is not in a low utilization scenario, a limit on the power state is removed and the power state of the compute unit is allowed to rise.

  • Publication number: 20140281592
    Abstract: A method, system and computer-readable medium for allocating power among computing resources are provided. The method calculates an activity level of a first computer resource. When the activity level is less than a threshold value, the method increases the power allocation to a second computing resource. When the activity level exceeds the threshold value, the method decreases the power allocation to the second computing resource.
