Power management of devices with differentiated power scaling based on relative power benefit estimation

A power management system with differentiated power scaling including multiple activity monitors and a differentiated power manager. Each activity monitor counts performance benefit estimation events of each of multiple devices to determine performance benefit estimate values, each being a measure of relative power utilization efficiency of a corresponding device. The differentiated power manager periodically evaluates the performance benefit estimate values and dynamically adjusts relative power provided to each device to achieve differentiated power scaling based on the performance benefit estimate values. Additional power available during a higher performance mode may be distributed only to those devices with higher performance benefit estimate values. During any mode of operation, the power provided to those devices with lower performance benefit estimate values may be redirected to those devices with higher performance benefit estimate values. Power may thus be distributed in an unequal manner to benefit those devices operating at higher efficiency.

Low-latency determination of optimal low-power modes (LPMS) of inactive circuits in an integrated circuit (IC) and related power management methods

Some logic circuits in an IC may have periods of inactivity, such as when the functions they provide are not needed, but they continue to consume power. In an exemplary IC, a power manager determines that a logic circuit is in an inactive state, employs a lookup table circuit to determine an optimal low-power mode (LPM) for the logic circuit based on an anticipated duration of the inactive state, and causes the circuit to enter the optimal LPM. Determining an optimal LPM from a lookup table circuit minimizes the latency of the LPM determination. Determining an optimal LPM may include comparing net energy consumptions of LPMs with different rates of power consumption. In some examples, the power manager provides at least one of a circuit identifier, a circuit frequency, and a memory interface frequency to the lookup table circuit and receives the optimal LPM.
