PROGRAMMABLE BIASING OF OPERATING FREQUENCIES FOR OPTIMAL POWER SCALING - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 17849989 titled 'PROGRAMMABLE BIASING OF OPERATING FREQUENCIES FOR OPTIMAL POWER SCALING

Simplified Explanation

Abstract: An information handling system receives a request to switch a processor to a first frequency, and determines a coefficient to be used as a bias against the first frequency. The system also applies the coefficient to the first frequency resulting in a second frequency, and switches the processor to the second frequency.

Patent/Innovation Explanation:

  • An information handling system is described.
  • The system can receive a request to switch the processor to a specific frequency.
  • A coefficient is determined by the system to be used as a bias against the requested frequency.
  • The coefficient is applied to the requested frequency, resulting in a modified frequency.
  • The processor is then switched to the modified frequency.

Potential Applications:

  • This technology can be applied in various information handling systems, such as computers, servers, or mobile devices.
  • It can be used to optimize the performance of the processor based on specific requirements or workload demands.
  • The system can dynamically adjust the frequency of the processor to improve power efficiency or reduce heat generation.

Problems Solved:

  • The technology addresses the need for efficient frequency management in information handling systems.
  • It allows for dynamic adjustments of the processor frequency to optimize performance and power consumption.
  • The system provides a mechanism to bias the requested frequency, enabling fine-tuning of the processor's performance.

Benefits of this Technology:

  • Improved performance: The system can adjust the processor frequency to match the workload, enhancing overall system performance.
  • Power efficiency: By dynamically adjusting the frequency, the system can optimize power consumption and reduce energy waste.
  • Heat reduction: Fine-tuning the processor frequency helps in managing heat generation, leading to improved system reliability and longevity.
