  • Publication number: 20190041930
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for receiving indicator data associated with activity of a load. Additionally, an estimation of a rate of change of a current of the load with respect to time may be determined from the indicator data. Moreover, a boost signal may be selectively output to a voltage regulator when the estimation of the rate of change is greater than a first amount. The boost signal may be associated with an adjustment in an output voltage of the voltage regulator and the output voltage may be provided to the load.

  • Publication number: 20190041949
    Abstract: Various embodiments comprise prioritizing frequency allocations in thermally- or power-constrained computing devices. Computer elements may be assigned ‘weights’ based on their priorities. The computer elements with higher weights may receive higher frequency allocations to assure they receive priority in processing more quickly. The computer elements with lower weights may receive lower frequency allocations and suffer a slowdown in their processing. Elements with the same weight may be grouped together for the purpose of frequency allocation.

  • Publication number: 20190041942
    Abstract: Systems, apparatuses and methods may provide for determining, from a program comprising graphs of parallel operations and dependencies, an estimation of a droop risk associated with execution of the graphs by a load. A risk signal may be outputted based on the estimation. The risk signal may be associated with an adjustment in an output voltage of a voltage regulator and the output voltage is to be provided to the load.

  • Publication number: 20180173628
    Abstract: Operations associated with a memory and operations associated with one or more functional units may be received. A dependency between the operations associated with the memory and the operations associated with one or more of the functional units may be determined. A first ordering may be created for the operations associated with the memory. Furthermore, a second ordering may be created for the operations associated with one or more of the functional units based on the determined dependency and the first operating of the operations associated with the memory.

  • Publication number: 20160179156
    Abstract: Methods and apparatus to provide a hybrid power management approach are described. Some embodiments redefine the interface to Power Control Unit (PCU) allowing a hybrid implementation where software running on CPU (Central Processing Unit, also referred to herein interchangeably as “processor”) cores performs more of the work for power management, enabling the PCU to remain as a simple or regular microcontroller. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
