<p>Approaches for reducing undesired chaotic behavior, improving security and/or reliability and/or decreasing performance excursions in an integrated circuit, system or group of systems. According to one aspect, a whitening functional unit is coupled to a first functional unit and acts to perturb the operation of the first functional unit in a substantially non-deterministic manner. For some aspects, the whitening functional unit may be responsive to events, control information, temporal information, one or more counters and/or other indicia to perturb the operation of the first functional unit.</p> |
