Abstract
An example computing device comprises a memory storing software, and a processor to, identify an expected parameter value range of a plurality of expected parameter value ranges of a hardware component of the computing device, the expected parameter value range corresponding to a set operating mode of the hardware component; compare an analog parameter value of the hardware component to the identified expected parameter value range; and determine whether the analog parameter value is within or outside the expected parameter value range.
Claims20
A computing device, comprising:
- a memory storing software;
- and
- a processor to:
- identify an expected parameter value range of a plurality of expected parameter value ranges of a hardware component of the computing device, the expected parameter value range corresponding to a set operating mode of a plurality of available operating modes of the hardware component;
- compare an analog parameter value of the hardware component to the identified expected parameter value range;
- determine whether the analog parameter value is within or outside the expected parameter value range;
- and
- in response to a determination that the analog parameter is outside the expected parameter value range, generate a response signal to cause the analog parameter value to change to be within the expected parameter value range.
A computing device, comprising:
- a memory storing software;
- and
- a processor to:
- determine a power consumption value of an electrical component based on an analog parameter value of an electrical component;
- determine a mode of operation, of a plurality of available modes of operation, of the electrical component, based on the power consumption value of the electrical component being within a power consumption value range of the mode of operation;
- determine an expected mode of operation of the plurality of available modes of operation, wherein the expected mode of operation is associated with an expected power consumption value range;
- compare the determined mode of operation to the expected mode of operation;
- and
- in response to a determination that the determined mode of operation is not the expected mode of operation:
- provide an indication that there is a mode mismatch of the electrical component, and
- change the mode of operation of the electrical component to be the expected mode of operation.
A non-transitory computer-readable medium comprising instructions that, when executed, cause a processor of a computing device to:
- determine whether a measured power consumption of a component operating in an operation mode of the component is within an expected range of values of power consumption of the operating mode, wherein the operating mode is one of a plurality of available operating modes;
- and
- in response to a determination that the measured power consumption is outside the expected range of values, output an error indicator and one or more of:
- limit permitted activity of the component until the measured power consumption is determined to within the expected range of values;
- or
- perform a recovery procedure to change the measured power consumption to be within the expected range of values.
