Abstract
A voltage and frequency scaling system for a processor is provided that may be implemented in dedicated logic or in software. The various voltage and frequency settings for the processor comprise a set of performance settings. The system includes a profiler module that maps each performance setting to a workload range for the processor. The profiler module also maps each workload range to a profiled throughput for the processor. Using a predicated average throughput from the mapping, the voltage and frequency scaling system advantageously selects from the performance settings and commands the processor to operate according to the selected performance setting.
