    Abstract: Various embodiments of the invention may be used to find a combination of voltage and frequency that results in a minimum amount of energy consumption in a digital system, including energy consumed by the system's voltage regulator (VR). The process may involve finding a separate point of minimum energy consumption for each of several different modes of the VR, where a mode is the ratio of Vin to Vout for that VR. The smallest value of those points may then be selected as the overall minimum. The process for making this determination may be performed in situ while the device is in operation, and may encompass changes in operational temperature, load, and process variations.

    Abstract: An apparatus to facilitate a multiplication circuit based on constituent partial product lookup table is disclosed. The apparatus includes a systolic array to receive first source data and second source data; while the first source data is constant and for each of a plurality of subsets of the second source data: determine whether a pre-computed partial product for the first source data and a subset of the plurality of subsets is stored in a lookup table; responsive to the pre-computed partial product being stored in the lookup table, use the pre-computed partial product as a partial product for the first source data and the subset; and responsive to the pre-computed partial product being absent from the lookup table: compute the partial product for the first source data and the subset; and store the partial product as the pre-computed partial product in the lookup table.
