METHOD AND SYSTEM FOR CONTROLLING THE OPERATION OF AN ELECTRONIC DEVICE

摘要

The present invention relates to a method for controlling the operation of an electronic device for processing data, said device comprising at least one computational unit for receiving input data and processing said input data for generating output data, and further comprising a control unit for receiving at least a part of said input data and delivering at least one control signal to said at least one computational unit for controlling the operation of said at least one computational unit, characterised in said control unit using said input data to determine a computational effort and further using said control signal to control parameters of said at least one computational unit depending on said computational effort, wherein said parameters comprise a combination of: clock rate and/or supply voltage; and process complexity.
