Techniques for reducing processor power consumption through dynamic processor resource allocation
A technique for performing power management for configurable processor resources of a processor determining whether to increase, decrease, or maintain resource units for each of the configurable processor resources based on utilization of each of the configurable processor resources. A total weighted power number for the processor is substantially maintained while resource units for each of the configurable processor resources whose utilization is above a first level is increased and resource units for each of the configurable processor resources whose utilization is below a second level is decreased. The total weighted power number corresponds to a sum of weighted power numbers for the configurable processor resources.
