Abstract
A multiple security level power managed processing system and method of managing power consumption in a multi security level system is disclosed. The system includes a plurality of nodes having a processor, associated memory and a processor interface. A plurality of processors individually may include multiple independent processing security levels, such as a first processing level and a second processing level. A MILS processor-to-processor network connects the plurality of processors. The system may be configured to distribute the application among the processing levels corresponding to a specific level of security. Power management profiles are used to control operation of the processors to maximize power efficiency while meeting security criteria.
