Application-Specific Power Performance Optimizer with On-Chip Monitoring
As data center power consumption continues to pose cooling and cost challenges, and battery-driven devices are expected to last longer between charges, the search for advanced power management mechanisms continues.
A modern design must balance between maximizing performance, consuming the least amount of power, and guaranteeing no failures in field. The latter requires safety margins which translate into guard-bands that could otherwise be used to boost performance and/or reduce power. Either the design is “squeezed” to the max and therefore it risks failure since there were insufficient guard-bands to overcome in-field events or power/performance is “left on the table” to provide those guard-bands “just in case”.
