Abstract: Electrical design current throttling, including: applying an electrical design current (EDC) threshold for each control processing unit component of a plurality of the central processing unit components responsive to the corresponding priority of each central processing unit component, the priority of a central processing unit component responsive to a central processing unit component's current usage data.

Abstract: An integrated coprocessor such as an accelerated processing unit (APU) generates commands for execution on a discrete coprocessor such as a discrete graphics processing unit (dGPU). Power distribution circuitry selectively provides power to the APU and the dGPU based on characteristics of workloads executing on the APU and the dGPU and based on a platform power limit that is shared by the APU and the dGPU. In some cases, the power distribution circuitry determines a first power provided to the APU and a second power provided to the dGPU. The power distribution circuitry increases the second power provided to the dGPU in response to a sum of the first and second powers being less than the platform power limit. In some cases, the power distribution circuitry modifies the power provided to the APU, the dGPU, or both in response to changes in temperatures measured by a set of sensors.

Abstract: A power management controller tracks the idle state of a compute unit and compares the tracked idle state with a first threshold. If the tracked idle state is above the first threshold a power state of the compute unit is limited to a low power state so that the power state does not rise due to activity that occurs in low utilization scenarios. The tracked idle state is compared to a second threshold and if the tracked idle state is below the second threshold, indicating that the compute unit is not in a low utilization scenario, a limit on the power state is removed and the power state of the compute unit is allowed to rise.

Abstract: Methods and apparatus employ a plurality of heterogeneous compute units and a plurality of non-compute units operatively coupled to the plurality of compute units. Power management logic (PML) determines a memory bandwidth level associated with a respective workload running on each of a plurality of heterogeneous compute units on the IC, and adjusts a power level of at least one non-compute unit of a memory system on the IC from a first power level to a second power level, based on the determined memory bandwidth levels. Memory access latency is also taken into account in some examples to adjust a power level of non-compute units.
