摘要:
Hardware accelerated synchronization of data movement across multiple direct memory access (DMA) engines is provided using techniques in which the order of descriptor processing is guaranteed for scenarios involving a single CPU and multiple DMA engines as well as those involving multiple CPUs and multiple DMA engines.
摘要:
A method and an apparatus for controlling voltage level and clock signal frequency supplied to a system. The apparatus includes a hardware module, adapted to receive at least one indication of a load of the system and to determine a voltage level and a clock signal frequency to be provided to the system, and a software module, adapted to configure a voltage source and a clock signal source in response to the determination. The method includes: (i) receiving, at a hardware module, indication of a load of a system; (ii) determining, by the hardware module, a voltage level and a clock signal frequency to be provided to the system; and (iii) configuring, by a software module, a voltage source and a clock signal source in response to the determination.
摘要:
A device for regulating a voltage supply to a semiconductor device, the device comprising memory for storing a plurality of performance ranges, wherein the respective performance ranges are associated with a respective supply voltage; means for measuring the performance of the semiconductor device; and a regulator for modifying the supply voltage to the semiconductor device if the measured performance of the semiconductor device is not within a predetermined portion of the performance range associated with the voltage supplied to the semiconductor device.

摘要:
A method for determining system and software configuration that includes: calculating a power consumption estimate of a modeled system associated with an execution of a certain software code; and altering, in response to the power consumption estimate, the certain software code or the modeled system. A method of determining a power consumption of a system that executed a software code, the method includes the stages of: providing a reduced instruction set representation of the software code; and calculating a power consumption estimate of a modeled system associated with an execution of the reduced instruction set representation of the software code.
