    摘要: In one or more embodiments, a fixed time interval for a system is determined. The fixed time interval corresponds to time between clock ticks. A random time interval is determined based on the fixed time interval and an offset. One or more electronic components affixed to a motherboard are transitioned to a new power state when the random time interval has elapsed. By introducing a randomization to the timing element to a control signal that drives the power state transition, a periodicity for the system is disrupted. The disruption in periodicity mitigates acoustic noise generated by vibrations in electronic components and motherboards affected by current and/or voltage transitions.

    摘要: Some implementations provide techniques and arrangements for adjusting a rate at which operations are performed by a processor based on a comparison of a first indication of power consumed by the processor as a result of performing a first set of operations and a second indication of power consumed by the processor as a result of performing a second set of operations. The rate at which operations are performed by the processor may be adjusted when the comparison indicates that a difference between the first indication of power consumed by the processor and the second indication of power consumed by the processor is greater than a threshold value.

    摘要: In an embodiment, a processor includes a first processor core, a second processor core, a first voltage regulator to provide a first voltage to the first processor core with a first active value when the first processor core is active, and a second voltage regulator to provide a second voltage to the second processor core with a second active value when the second processor core is active. Responsive to a request to place the first processor core in a first low power state with an associated first low power voltage value, the first voltage regulator is to reduce the first voltage to a second low power voltage value that is less than the first low power voltage value, independent of the second voltage regulator. First data stored in a first register of the first processor core is retained at the second low power value. Other embodiments are described and claimed.

    摘要: In one embodiment, the present invention includes a processor having a plurality of cores each to execute instructions, a non-volatile storage to store maximum peak operating frequency values each a function of a given number of active cores, a configuration storage to store frequency limits each corresponding to one of the maximum peak operating frequency values or a configurable clip frequency value less than the maximum peak operating frequency value. In turn, a power controller is configured to limit operating frequency of the cores to a corresponding frequency limit obtained from the configuration storage. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
