Publication number: 20220413581Abstract: This application is directed to power management at a processor system having a plurality of domains. Power samples are collected from the domains and combined to generate a system temperature profile including a temporal sequence of system temperature values. When the system temperature profile satisfies a first criterion, it is determined in real time whether a respective system temperature value of the system temperature profile satisfies a second criterion or a third criterion. In accordance with a determination that the respective system temperature value satisfies the second criterion, a power management engine determines power budgets of the domains on a firmware level and enables operations of the domains according to the power budgets. In accordance with a determination that the respective system temperature value satisfies the third criterion, a subset of domains are selected to apply a respective power throttling action directly on a hardware level.Type: ApplicationFiled: March 22, 2022Publication date: December 29, 2022Inventors: Alon NAVEH, Anubhav MISHRA, Manu GULATI

Patent number: 11287871Abstract: For one disclosed embodiment, a processor comprises a plurality of processor cores to operate at variable performance levels. One of the plurality of processor cores may operate at one time at a performance level different than a performance level at which another one of the plurality of processor cores may operate at the one time. The plurality of processor cores are in a same package. Logic of the processor is to set one or more operating parameters for one or more of the plurality of processor cores. Logic of the processor is to monitor activity of one or more of the plurality of processor cores. Logic of the processor is to constrain power of one or more of the plurality of processor cores based at least in part on the monitored activity.
