Embodiments of methods, systems, and apparatuses for configuring a hardware device in a platform are described. In an exemplary method, a configuration message is received that indicates that the hardware device is to be upgraded from a first configuration to a second configuration, wherein the first and second configurations were pre-determined based on previous testing of the hardware device and are stored in the hardware device. The hardware device is then configured to the second configuration.

Methods, systems, and apparatuses to facilitate configuration of a hardware device in a platform

Techniques to manage operational parameters for a processor are described. For instance, a method includes monitoring performance values representing physical characteristics for multiple components of a computing platform, and managing a performance level for a processor based on the performance values and one or more operational parameters for the processor. The operational parameters may include one or more transitory operational parameters that cause the processor to temporarily exceed operational parameters set by a thermal design power limit. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

Techniques to manage operational parameters for a processor

An apparatus may comprise one or more processor cores of a processor and a set of current limiters. Each current limiter may be coupled to a respective processor core and arranged to monitor processor activity in the processor, to compare the processor activity to one or more current limits of multiple current limits; and to initiate a current-limiting action when the one or more current limits is exceeded.

Apparatus and method for high current protection

Methods, apparatuses, and systems for managing power of a processing unit are described herein. Some embodiments include determining a voltage variation of a subset of current components of a current consumed by a processing unit. Other embodiments include detecting architectural events on a processing core of the processing unit and instituting various actions to reduce an input rate of instructions to the core. Other embodiments may be described and claimed.
