    摘要: Provided are systems, methods, and computer program products for regulating power consumption in application-specific integrated circuits (ASICs)-such as, for example, a graphics processing unit. In such a method, a value of a leakage current of an ASIC is received from computer-readable information contained in the ASIC. One or more operational parameters of the ASIC-such as, for example, a supply voltage to the ASIC, a engine speed of the ASIC, and/or a fan speed of a fan used to cool the ASIC-are adjusted based on the value of the leakage current of the ASIC. Optionally, the one or more operational parameters may also be adjusted based on a type of application running on the ASIC. In addition, a supply voltage to the ASIC may (optionally) be shut off if the temperature of the ASIC exceeds a threshold.
