Abstract
The described embodiments include a computing device with an entity (a processor, a processor core, etc.) and a controller. In these embodiments, the controller, using an idle duration history, predicts a duration of a next idle period for the entity. Based on the predicted duration of the next idle period, the controller configures the entity to operate in a corresponding idle state.
