SYSTEM AND METHOD FOR CONTROLLING IDLE STATE EXITS TO MANAGE DI/DT ISSUES |
摘要 |
A method for managing a processor, the processor comprising a common supply rail and processor cores being connected to the common supply rail, wherein each processor core comprises a core unit, wherein the method comprises detecting idle state exits indicated by the core units; and delaying a command execution of at least one of the core units indicating an idle state exit when the number of idle state exits exceeds a predetermined threshold idle state exit number may reduce voltage droops due to several processor cores leaving the idle state at the same time. |
