Publication number: 20240007955Abstract: Methods and systems to manage an environmental condition, such as power consumption and/or temperature, of an integrated circuit (IC) device by controlling a bandwidth of a packet-based communication interface of the IC device (e.g., a PCIe interface). Bandwidth may be controlled by controlling delay between packets or controlling delay of a handshake signal. Delay may be increased when the environmental condition reaches a first threshold. Delay may be reduced when the environmental condition falls to a second threshold. Bandwidth may be regulated with proportional-integral control provided by a firmware controller and/or hardware. Bandwidth may be separately controlled for upstream and downstream paths based on bandwidth utilization of the respective paths. Bandwidth control may utilize codes stored in selectable registers. The IC device may include a field programmable gate array (FPGA) and may be configured as an accelerator card.Type: ApplicationFiled: June 30, 2022Publication date: January 4, 2024Inventors: Sebastian TURULLOLS, Naga Murali Narasimha Rao MEDEME, Ravinder SHARMA, Jayaram PVSS, Indlamuri HEMANTH KUMAR, Kaustuvmani MANJI
