Abstract:
There is provided a method of scheduler assisted power management for semiconductor devices. By accessing and analyzing workload data for tasks to be completed, a scheduler may provide finer grained control for determining and implementing an efficient power management policy. In this manner, tasks with completion deadlines can be allocated sufficient resources without wasteful power consumption resulting from ramping up of performance through overestimating of voltage or frequency increases. Additionally, power management may be planned for longer periods, rather than looking only at immediate data to be processed and constantly fluctuating voltage and frequency. In this manner, power management can run more smoothly and efficiently compared to conventional means of power management that ignore data from a scheduler when determining power management policy.
