Abstract
A system includes a power management unit that may monitor the power consumed by a processor including a plurality of processor core. The power management unit may throttle or reduce the operating frequency of the processor cores by applying a number of throttle events in response to determining that the plurality of cores is operating above a predetermined power threshold during a given monitoring cycle. The number of throttle events may be based upon a relative priority of each of the plurality of processor cores to one another and an amount that the processor is operating above the predetermined power threshold. The number of throttle events may correspond to a portion of a total number of throttle events, and which may be dynamically determined during operation based upon a proportionality constant and the difference between the total power consumed by the processor and a predetermined power threshold.
