Abstract
A watchdog timer may be implemented to detect whether a software-based activity monitor is alive. A software-based activity monitor may manage throttling performed by a hardware-based activity monitor. The software-based activity monitor may reset the watchdog timer in the hardware-based activity monitor within a period of time to indicate that the software-based activity monitor is alive. If the watchdog timer is not reset within a period of time, the hardware-based activity monitor begins throttling using watchdog throttling criteria.
