Abstract
A power management method is disclosed which provides power management for a hardware based Java accelerator. Initially, a Java mode signal is provided from a host processor in response to initiating a Java application. Thereafter, power to the host processor is reduced, and power to a Java processor is increased in response to the Java mode signal. Then, when execution of the Java application halts, a Java completion signal is generated from the Java processor, thus signaling the system to return control back to the host processor.
