Abstract
In one embodiment, a processor includes: a plurality of processing elements to perform operations; a power management agent (PMA) coupled to the plurality of processing elements to control power consumption of the plurality of processing elements; and a throttling circuit coupled to the PMA. The throttling circuit is to determine a throttling power level for the plurality of processing elements based at least in part on translation information communicated from the PMA. Other embodiments are described and claimed.
