ON-CHIP SYSTEM WITH CONTEXT-BASED ENERGY REDUCTION - A simplified explanation of the abstract
This abstract first appeared for US patent application 20240028105 titled 'ON-CHIP SYSTEM WITH CONTEXT-BASED ENERGY REDUCTION
Simplified Explanation
The patent application describes a system for computing devices that includes a central processing unit (CPU) capable of operating in multiple power modes, each with different code-execution performance capabilities. The system also includes a sampling peripheral, an electrical output, and a memory device. The memory device is configured to select and execute a specific module from a plurality of modules based on a context-identifying input. When triggered, each module receives the context-identifying input from the sampling peripheral and operates the CPU in a dedicated power mode.
- The system includes a CPU that can operate in different power modes, each with varying code-execution performance capabilities.
- A sampling peripheral is used to gather context-identifying input.
- A memory device selects and executes a specific module based on the context-identifying input.
- Each module, when triggered, receives the context-identifying input and operates the CPU in a dedicated power mode.
Potential applications of this technology:
- Power optimization in computing devices by dynamically adjusting the CPU power mode based on the context.
- Enhancing energy efficiency in mobile devices by optimizing power consumption.
- Improving performance in real-time applications by selecting the appropriate power mode based on the context.
Problems solved by this technology:
- Inefficient power consumption in computing devices due to fixed power modes.
- Limited performance capabilities in certain power modes.
- Lack of adaptability to different computing tasks and contexts.
Benefits of this technology:
- Improved energy efficiency and extended battery life in computing devices.
- Enhanced performance and responsiveness in different computing tasks.
- Flexibility and adaptability to varying computing contexts and requirements.
Original Abstract Submitted
a system for computing devices includes a central processing unit (cpu that is configured to perform in a plurality of power modes, each power mode being pre-defined to have a different code-execution performance capability than remaining ones of the plurality of power modes. the system further includes a sampling peripheral, an electrical output, and a memory device. the memory device is configured to select and execute a specific module from the plurality of modules based on the context-identifying input triggering the specific module. if triggered, each module is executed to receive the context-identifying input from the sampling peripheral, and to operate the cpu in a dedicated power mode of the plurality of power modes.
