Abstract
Systems, apparatuses, and methods for performing a software override of a power estimation mechanism are disclosed. A computing system includes a plurality of tuned parameters for generating an estimate of power consumption. The tuned parameters are generated based on post-silicon characterization of the system. After deployment, the system executes a plurality of different applications. When launching a particular application, the system loads a corresponding set of override parameters which are used to replace the plurality of tuned parameters. The system generates an estimate of power consumption using the set of override parameters rather than the previously determined tuned parameters. Then while executing the particular application, the system makes adjustments to power and frequency values for the various system components based on the estimate of power consumption.
