Patents by Inventor Jagat V. Pokala

Jagat V. Pokala has filed for patents to protect the following inventions. This listing includes patent applications that are pending as well as patents that have already been granted by the United States Patent and Trademark Office (USPTO).

  • Patent number: 8635478
    Abstract: During manufacture, an operating range for dynamic voltage and frequency scaling can be established. A nominal operating point is identified based on a design nominal operating frequency for a computer processor. The nominal operating point comprises a nominal operating voltage identified for the design nominal operating frequency. In dependence upon the nominal operating point, an operating range of frequency and voltage over which the computer processor is to function is determined. Information specifying the nominal operating point and the operating range is stored in non-volatile storage associated with the computer processor.
    Type: Grant
    Filed: December 29, 2011
    Date of Patent: January 21, 2014
    Assignee: International Business Machines Corporation
    Inventors: Harold W. Chase, Joshua D. Friedrich, Andrew J. Geissler, Soraya Ghiasi, Norman K. James, Jagat V. Pokala, Malcolm S. Ware

  • Publication number: 20100094572
    Abstract: Methods, apparatus, and computer program products are described for dynamic frequency and voltage scaling for a computer processor, including identifying during manufacture a nominal operating point of frequency and voltage for a computer processor, the nominal operating point including a nominal operating voltage identified for a design nominal operating frequency; determining, in dependence upon the nominal operating point, an operating range of frequency and voltage over which the computer processor is to function; and storing, in non-volatile storage on the computer processor during manufacture, information specifying the nominal operating point and the operating range.
