Apparatus for dynamically adjusting CPU power consumption

摘要

An apparatus for dynamically adjusting power consumption of a CPU in a computer system is described. A current flowing through the limiting resistor is detected and whether or not this current is larger than a predetermined current is determined. A warning signal is issued when the current is larger than this predetermined signal. The warning signal triggers the software framework and the hardware framework of the apparatus to issue an asynchronous operation frequency reduction instruction to the CPU of the computer system.
