Abstract
A method for overload detection according to one embodiment of the invention includes a control process and a data process. In response to a timing signal, the control process sets a state of a timing indicator. Upon execution of a time-constrained operation, the data process checks the state of the timing indicator. In other embodiments, subsequent to an overload detection, an auxiliary data process is configured to execute in a mode that consumes fewer processing cycles.
Claims30
A method of process control, said method comprising:
- upon detecting a predetermined feature of a timing signal, setting a state of a timing indicator;
- executing a data process;
- upon completion of a predetermined stage of said executing, checking the state of the timing indicator;
- and
- executing an auxiliary process in a predetermined mode of execution,
- wherein the mode of execution of the auxiliary process is based on the state of the timing indicator.
