Abstract:
Embodiments of systems, apparatuses, and methods for energy efficiency and energy conservation including enhanced temperature based voltage control are described. In one embodiment, an apparatus includes a processor and a controller coupled with the processor. In one embodiment, the controller receives a temperature measurement corresponding to a current temperature of the processor. In one embodiment, the controller further determines an adjustment to a voltage being applied to the processor based at least in part on the temperature measurement and a plurality of internal limits of the processor, wherein the determined adjustment to the voltage is based on an inverse temperature dependence relationship between at least one of an operating frequency and a voltage of the processor, and temperature. In one embodiment, the controller provides the determined adjustment to the voltage to a voltage regulator interface.
