Abstract:
Various embodiments may be generally directed to techniques for using an observed battery stress history to manage operation of a computing system component in a high power performance mode when powered by a battery. Various embodiments include techniques for tracking stresses to a battery. Various embodiments include techniques for comparing the battery stress history to a degradation baseline for the battery. Various embodiments include techniques for developing a degradation baseline for a battery including, for example, a degradation baseline based on expected stress to a battery and/or a degradation baseline based on a battery reliability model. Various embodiments include techniques for determining a battery stress surplus or deficit. Various embodiments include techniques for managing operation of a performance enhancing mode or high power performance mode of a computing system component based on the determined battery stress surplus or deficit.
Abstract:
An apparatus may include first circuitry coupled to one or more platform components, the first circuitry operative to receive an unfiltered input voltage signal, compare a first voltage level of the unfiltered input voltage signal to a first reference voltage level, and generate a control signal operative to lower operation power of one or more of the one or more platform components when the first voltage level is less than the first reference voltage level.
Abstract:
Methods and apparatus relating to controlling processor slew rates based on battery charge state/level are described. In one embodiment, logic causes modification to a slew rate of a processor based on at least a charge level of a battery pack. Other embodiments are also disclosed and claimed.
