METHOD, APPARATUS, AND SYSTEM FOR ENERGY EFFICIENCY AND ENERGY CONSERVATION INCLUDING DETECTING AND CONTROLLING CURRENT RAMPS IN PROCESSING CIRCUIT

摘要

Some implementations provide techniques and arrangements for adjusting a rate at which operations are performed by a processor based on a comparison of a first indication of power consumed by the processor as a result of performing a first set of operations and a second indication of power consumed by the processor as a result of performing a second set of operations. The rate at which operations are performed by the processor may be adjusted when the comparison indicates that a difference between the first indication of power consumed by the processor and the second indication of power consumed by the processor is greater than a threshold value.

1. A method comprising:
comparing a first indication of power consumed by a core as a result of performing a first set of operations with a second indication of power consumed by the core as a result of performing a second set of operations; and adjusting a rate at which operations are performed by the core when a difference between the first indication of power consumed by the core and the second indication of power consumed by the core is greater than a threshold value.
