Abstract

A method for scaling voltages provided to different modules of a system-on-chip (SOC) includes receiving, at an energy-performance engine of the SOC, a first indication of usage history for a first module of the SOC and a second indication of usage history for a second module of the SOC. The method includes receiving a battery life indication that indicates a remaining battery life for a battery of the SOC. The method also includes adjusting a first supply voltage provided to the first module of the SOC based on the first indication, the second indication, and the battery life indication. The method further includes adjusting a second supply voltage provided to the second module of the SOC based on the first indication, the second indication, and the battery life indication.
