Abstract
Methods and systems are disclosed for transitioning, by a hardware-based controller, a system on a chip (SoC) into different power states. Techniques disclosed include tracking, by the controller, metrics associated with the SoC and transitioning, by the controller, the SoC from a first power state to a second power state based on the tracked metrics. Were the total amount of power that is used by at least a portion of the transition between the first power state to the second power state and a time spent in the second power state is less than the total amount of power that would have been used by remaining in the first power state.
