Abstract:
Exemplary methods, apparatuses, and systems include a first die in a power network receiving, from each of a plurality of dice in the power network, a first activity state value indicating that the respective die is in a high current state, a second activity state value indicating that the respective die is a moderate current state, or a third activity state value indicating that the respective die is a low current state. The received activity state values include at least one second or third activity state value. The first die determines, using the received activity state values, a first sum of the activity state values. The first die further selects an activity state based upon the first sum and sends, to the plurality of dice, an activity state value corresponding to the selected activity state.
