  • Patent number: 11093278
    Abstract: A processor includes processing engines, at least one performance counter, and a power control circuit. The at least one performance counter is to determine at least one interrupt rate metric for a first processing engine. The power control circuit is to determine, using the at least one performance counter, whether the at least one interrupt rate metric has reached a first threshold while the first processing engine is operating at a first frequency level, and in response to a determination that the at least one interrupt rate metric has reached the first threshold while the first processing engine is operating at the first frequency level, increase an operating frequency of the first processing engine from the first frequency level to a second frequency level.

  • Patent number: 10372197
    Abstract: In one embodiment, the present invention includes a processor having a core and a power controller to control power management features of the processor. The power controller can receive an energy performance bias (EPB) value from the core and access a power-performance tuning table based on the value. Using information from the table, at least one setting of a power management feature can be updated. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

  • Patent number: 9239611
    Abstract: The efficiency rating (ER) of each domain, in a processor, may be compared and then the power budget may be allocated, effectively, among the domains based on the ERs of the domains. The ER may indicate relative advantage among domains in terms of performance return for a given power budget, i.e., a higher effectiveness may be expected in power utilization if the ER is higher for a domain. The ER of a domain may be defined as (scalability factor/cost factor*alpha). The scalability factor may be defined as a performance increase (in %) brought about by an increase in the clock frequency (in %) provided to the domain. The cost factor may be defined as a power budget value required in bringing about an increase in the clock frequency provided to the domain and alpha is an adjustment factor.

  • Patent number: 9014637
    Abstract: Examples are disclosed for switching frequency control of an on-chip or integrated voltage regulator. In some examples, a switch frequency of an integrated voltage regulator may be monitored. A determination of whether the monitored switch frequency causes radio signal interference may cause the switch frequency to be adjusted to eliminate or reduce the radio signal interference. Other examples are described and claimed.
