Abstract
Methods and apparatuses control electrical current supplied to a plurality of processing units in a multi-processor system. A plurality of current usage information corresponding to the processing units are received by a controller to determine a threshold current for each of the processing units. The controller determines a frequency reduction action and an instructions-per-cycle (IPC) reduction action for the each of the processing units based on the threshold current and regulates operations of the processing units based on the determined frequency and IPC reduction actions.
