    摘要: A storage unit may have an associated processor and storage controller. The storage controller associated with the storage unit may store a mapping of objects (i.e., data) to blocks in the storage unit. This mapping may be received from another source, such as a file system, database, or software application, among other possibilities. The processor associated with the storage unit may execute operation s on the objects stored in the storage unit.

    摘要: A method and apparatus for power throttling in a microprocessor. A voltage source supplies voltage to the microprocessor, and a clock source operates the microprocessor at a desired frequency. In one embodiment, a power monitor is configured to measure the short term power consumption of the microprocessor. In another embodiment, a temperature sensor measures the temperature of the microprocessor. Control logic is coupled to the voltage source and the clock source. The control logic receives an indication of the power consumption or temperature, as applicable, and compares it to a predetermined value. In response to the comparison, the control logic varies the supply voltage and the frequency.

    摘要: In some embodiments, the invention includes a system having first and second domains. The system includes a first performance detection circuitry including some transistors of the first domain to provide a first performance rating signal indicative of transistor switching rates of the first domain. The system includes second performance detection circuitry including some transistors of the second domain to provide a second performance rating signal indicative of transistor switching rates the second domain. The system further includes control circuitry to receive the first and second performance rating signals and control a setting for a body bias signal for the first domain and control a setting for a body bias signal for the second domain responsive to the performance rating signals. In some embodiments, the control circuitry also provides supply voltage signals and clock signals responsive to the performance signals. The first and second domains may have clock signals with the same frequency and the bias values are set such that the transistors of the first and second domains can switch properly while the first and second domains have the clock signals and wherein one of the first and second domains operates at less than optimal performance.
