Abstract
Embodiments are disclosed for managing voltage droop. The techniques include performing a first determination that a timing margin is less than a first threshold. The techniques also include performing a second determination that an increase in processor activity exceeds a second threshold. Additionally, the techniques include determining that a voltage droop is indicated based on the first determination and the second determination. Further, the techniques include signaling a plurality of throttling circuits for a corresponding plurality of cores of a computer processor to actuate.
