In one embodiment, a processor includes a current protection controller to: receive instruction width information and instruction type information associated with one or more instructions stored in an instruction queue prior to execution of the one or more instructions by an execution circuit; determine a power license level for the core based on the corresponding instruction width information and the instruction type information; generate a request for a license for the core corresponding to the power license level; and communicate the request to a power controller when the one or more instructions are non-speculative, and defer communication of the request when at least one of the one or more instructions is speculative. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

System, apparatus and method for power license control of a processor

There is provided a system and method for providing an integrated environment for execution monitoring and profiling of applications running on multi-processor system-on-chips. There is provided a method comprising obtaining task execution data of an application, the task execution data including a plurality of task executions assigned to a plurality of hardware resources, showing a scheduler view of the plurality of task executions on a display, receiving a modification request for a selected task execution from the plurality of task executions, reassigning the plurality of task executions to the plurality of hardware resources based on implementing the modification request, and updating the scheduler view on the display. As a result, the high level results of specific low level optimizations may be tested and retried to discover which optimization routes provide the greatest benefits.
