Estimating the term…
A system and method are described herein for estimating power usage of various components of a CPU and controlling voltage regulators based on the estimated power usage. The power estimates may be based on digital power meter readings at each component, on voltage information from a voltage regulator, and on other power information. This power information is transmitted over a mesh interconnect disposed throughout the CPU such that power estimation can be accurately calculated and used to control voltage regulators without being limited by external bus speeds. More of the power management processes and components may be disposed on the CPU and connected to the mesh interconnect. These power management processes include various calibrations, adjustments, and limits so as efficiently manage and use the more rapidly processed power estimations.
A method for processor power management, comprising:
A power management circuit, comprising:
An apparatus comprising means for:
A non-transitory computer readable medium storing one or more computer executable instructions that when executed on one or more processors causes the one or more processors to perform the method of:
