Abstract
Power consumption that occurs in response to software errors may be reduced. In one example a system tracks a number of occurrences a first set of code causes a system to perform one or more reset actions, determines whether the number of occurrences exceeds a threshold, and selects a second set of code to execute in place of the first set of code, if the quantity exceeds the threshold.
