Zusammenfassung:Clock control arrangements for integrated circuit devices are discussed herein. In one example, a method of operating an integrated circuit device includes monitoring indications of pending operations for a processing core of an integrated circuit, and determining a predicted change in workload for the processing core based at least on a portion of the indications of the pending operations. The method also includes altering a clock frequency of a clock signal provided to the processing core based at least on the predicted change in the workload.
