    Abstract: A system having: a processor, wherein the processor is configured for executing a process of reducing power consumption that includes executing a first task over a first plurality of timeslots and a second task over a second plurality of timeslots, and wherein the processor is configured to: execute a real-time operating system (RTOS) process; determine that the first task is complete during a first timeslot of the first plurality of timeslots; and enter a low power mode for a reminder of the first timeslot upon determining that there is enough time to enter a low power mode during the first timeslot and a next timeslot is allocated to the first task, otherwise perform a dead-wait for the reminder of the first timeslot.

    Abstract: An apparatus and method for efficient power management of multiple integrated circuits. In various implementations, a computing system includes an integrated circuit with a security processor. The security processor determines the integrated circuit transitions to an active state from a sleep state that is not intended to maintain configuration information to return to the active state without restarting an operating system. In the sleep state, multiple components of the integrated circuit have a power supply reference level turned off, which provides low power consumption for the integrated circuit. The security processor performs the bootup operation using information stored in persistent on-chip memory. By not using information stored in off-chip memory, the security processor reduces the latency of the transition. The persistent on-chip memory utilizes synchronous random-access memory that receives a standby power supply reference level that continually supplies a voltage magnitude by not being turned off.

    Abstract: A computing system for adjusting voltage regulation including a main processing module, a secondary processing module that executes requested computation tasks, and a voltage regulation module connected to the secondary processing module that regulates its output voltage according to a regulation law depending on at least one regulation parameter. The system also includes a first digital bus that transfers requested computation tasks from the main processing module to the secondary processing module and transfers results of the requested computation tasks from the secondary processing module to the main processing module. The system also includes a second digital bus that transfers regulation parameters from the main processing module to the voltage regulation module.
