Abstract
A method of operating a processing unit includes, in response to detecting that the processing unit is operating in a voltage limited state, calculating a set of headroom values by calculating a headroom value for each operational constraint in a set of operational constraints of the processing unit, based on the calculated set of headroom values, selecting from a set of performance features a subset of one or more performance features for enabling in the processing unit, and enabling the selected subset of performance features in the processing unit.
