| Zusammenfassung: | A power management controller is disclosed. Broadly speaking, the controller may, in response to detecting a timing signal, determine a total power consumption for a plurality of processor clusters, each of which includes a plurality of processor cores. The controller may determine a performance metric using the total power consumption and compare the performance metric to a limit. Based on a result of the comparison, the controller may select a new power state for at least one of the processor clusters. |
