  • Patent number: 11990841
    Abstract: A multi-mode hybrid control DC-DC converting circuit has a switching power converter and a microcontroller. The switching power converter has a transformer and a switching switch. The switching switch is connected to a primary-side winding of the transformer in series. The microcontroller is connected to the switching power converter and a control terminal of the switching switch. The microcontroller sets multiple thresholds according to an input voltage of the switching power converter, and determines whether a feedback voltage of the switching power converter is higher or lower than each one of the thresholds to perform a variable-frequency mode, a constant-frequency mode, or a pulse-skipping mode. The microcontroller outputs a driving signal to the switching switch and correspondingly adjusts a frequency of the driving signal according to the variable-frequency mode, the constant-frequency mode, or the pulse-skipping mode which is performed.

  • Publication number: 20240095177
    Abstract: A computing system performs partial cache deactivation. The computing system estimates the leakage power of a cache based on operating conditions of the cache including voltage and temperature. The computing system further identifies a region of the cache as a candidate for deactivation based on cache hit counts. The computing system then adjusts the size of the region for the deactivation based on the leakage power and a bandwidth of a memory hierarchy device. The memory hierarchy device is at the next level to the cache in a memory hierarchy of the computing system.

  • Publication number: 20240095168
    Abstract: A computing system performs shared cache allocation to allocate cache resources to groups of tasks. The computing system monitors the bandwidth at a memory hierarchy device that is at a next level to the cache in a memory hierarchy of the computing system. The computing system estimates a change in dynamic power from a corresponding change in the bandwidth before and after the cache resources are allocated. The allocation of the cache resources are adjusted according to an allocation policy that receives inputs including the estimated change in the dynamic power and a performance indication of task execution.
