Abstract
Embodiments of a method that allow the adjustment of performance settings of a computing system are disclosed. One or more functional units may include multiple monitor circuits, each of which may be configured to monitor a given operational parameter of a corresponding functional unit. Upon detection of an event related to a monitored operational parameter, a monitor circuit may generate an interrupt. In response to the interrupt a processor may adjust one or more performance settings of the computing system.
