Abstract

A system and method for managing energy consumption of one or more processor cores in a multicore processing device. The method includes recording an activity level of one or more processor cores within a multicore processing device and translating each activity level of the one or more processor cores to a respective charge value. The method also includes generating, at least partially subject to each translated charge value, one or more charge replenishment requests associated with the one or more processor cores. The method further includes determining the one or more charge replenishment requests exceeds a power delivery capacity to the multicore processing device. The method also includes regulating the processing activity of the one or more processor cores to decrease a power consumption for the one or more processing cores.
