INTEGRATED CIRCUIT CAPABLE OF PERFORMING DYNAMIC VOLTAGE AND FREQUENCY SCALING OPERATION BASED ON WORKLOAD AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF - A simplified explanation of the abstract

This abstract first appeared for US patent application 18447576 titled 'INTEGRATED CIRCUIT CAPABLE OF PERFORMING DYNAMIC VOLTAGE AND FREQUENCY SCALING OPERATION BASED ON WORKLOAD AND OPERATING METHOD THEREOF

Simplified Explanation

The integrated circuit described in the patent application is capable of classifying a workload of a core based on monitored data and performing a dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) operation based on the classified workload.

  • The integrated circuit includes at least one core, a shared buffer, a monitor, and a DVFS controller.
  • The shared buffer receives requests from the core, accesses an external memory, and receives responses from the external memory.
  • The monitor tracks the buffer capacity and response waiting time of the shared buffer.
  • The DVFS controller is responsible for classifying the workload of the core.

Potential applications of this technology:

  • Power management in computing devices
  • Performance optimization in multi-core processors
  • Real-time workload classification and DVFS adjustment

Problems solved by this technology:

  • Inefficient power usage in computing devices
  • Lack of real-time workload classification for DVFS adjustment
  • Limited performance optimization in multi-core processors

Benefits of this technology:

  • Improved power efficiency in computing devices
  • Enhanced performance in multi-core processors
  • Real-time workload classification for optimal DVFS adjustment


Original Abstract Submitted

Provided are an integrated circuit capable of classifying a workload of a core based on monitored data and performing a dynamic voltage and frequency scaling (DVFS) operation based on the classified workload, and an operating method of the integrated circuit. The integrated circuit includes at least one core, a shared buffer which receives a request from the at least one core, access an external memory according to the request, and receive a response from the external memory, a monitor which monitors the shared buffer to obtain a buffer capacity of the shared buffer and a response waiting time, and a DVFS controller configured to classify a workload of the at least one core.
