  • System and method for controlling central processing unit power with guaranteed transient deadlines
    Patent number: 9104411
    Abstract: Methods, systems and devices that include a dynamic clock and voltage scaling (DCVS) solution configured to compute and enforce performance guarantees to ensure that a processor does not remain in a busy state (e.g., due to transient workloads) for more than a predetermined amount of time above that which is required for that processor to complete its pre-computed steady state workload. The DCVS may adjust the frequency and/or voltage of a processor based on a variable delay to ensure that the processing core only falls behind its steady state workload by, at most, a predefined maximum amount of work, irrespective of the operating frequency or voltage of the processor.

  • User activity response dynamic frequency scaling processor power management system and method
    Patent number: 8996595
    Abstract: A method of executing a dynamic clock and voltage scaling (DCVS) algorithm in a central processing unit (CPU) is disclosed and may include monitoring CPU activity and determining whether a workload is designated as a special workload when the workload is added to the CPU activity.
