Abstract: The disclosed method includes observing a utilization of a target sub-component of a functional unit of a processor using a control circuit coupled to the target sub-component. The method also includes detecting that the utilization is outside a desired utilization range and throttling one or more sub-components of the functional unit to reduce a power consumption of the functional unit. Various other methods, systems, and computer-readable media are also disclosed.
