Abstract
Processor frequencies can be managed. For example, a computing device can determine (i) a first estimate of an operating characteristic of a processor in using a first pair of frequencies to perform a task, and (ii) a second estimate of the operating characteristic of the processor in using a second pair of frequencies to perform the task. The computing device can select the first pair of frequencies based on determining that the first estimate is closer to a target operating-characteristic of the processor while performing the task than the second estimate. Based on selecting the first pair of frequencies, the computing device can set a clock rate of the processor to a lower frequency in the first pair of frequencies while performing the task. The computing device can also set the clock rate of the processor to a higher frequency in the first pair of frequencies while performing the task.
