Abstract
A method for facilitating adaptive frequency in a processor having a plurality of cores. The method can include conducting tests on the processor; determining, via the processor testing system, default parameters for operating one or more of the cores, wherein the default parameters are based on results of the tests and cause one or more of the cores to operate within production yield goals of the processor; determining alternative parameters for operating one or more of the cores, wherein the alternative parameters are based on results of the test and cause one or more of the cores to operate outside production yield goals of the processor, and wherein the alternative parameters are usable to reconfigure one or more of the cores after an initial operation per the default parameters; and writing the default parameters and the alternative parameters to a production data storage of the processor.
