Abstract:
The present invention includes a method for obtaining dynamic operating parameter information of a semiconductor device such as a processor, determining dynamic usage of the device, either as a whole or for one or more portions thereof, based on the dynamic operating parameter information, and dynamically estimating a remaining lifetime of the device based on the dynamic usage. Depending on the estimated remaining lifetime, the device may be controlled in a desired manner.
