==Workload-Aware Voltage Regulator Tuning - A simplified explanation of the abstract==


This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17961155 titled 'Workload-Aware Voltage Regulator Tuning

==Simplified Explanation==

The patent application describes a method and system for tuning a voltage regulator based on workload information to optimize power delivery to a processor.

* The system receives workload information for a processor that receives power from the voltage regulator.
* Based on the workload information, the system adjusts parameters such as load line value, setpoint voltage, or phase shedding configuration of the voltage regulator.
* Once the adjustments are complete, an acknowledgement signal is sent to the processor indicating that the workload can proceed.

== Potential Applications ==
This technology could be applied in various electronic devices and systems where power efficiency and performance optimization are crucial, such as:
* Mobile devices
* Servers
* IoT devices

== Problems Solved ==
This technology addresses the following issues:
* Efficient power delivery to processors under varying workloads
* Optimization of power consumption in electronic devices
* Enhanced performance and reliability of electronic systems

== Benefits ==
The benefits of this technology include:
* Improved power efficiency
* Enhanced performance of processors
* Extended battery life in mobile devices

== Potential Commercial Applications ==
This technology has potential commercial applications in:
* Semiconductor industry
* Electronics manufacturing
* Power management systems

== Possible Prior Art ==
One possible prior art could be the use of dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) techniques in processors to optimize power consumption based on workload information.

==Original Abstract Submitted==

A method and system of tuning a voltage regulator including receiving, at a voltage regulator, workload information for a workload to be executed by a processor that receives power from the voltage regulator; setting at least one of a load line value for the voltage regulator, a setpoint voltage supplied by the voltage regulator to the processor, or a phase shedding configuration of the voltage regulator based on the workload information; and sending to the processor, after the setting is complete, an acknowledgement signal indicating that the workload can proceed.
