Abstract
An apparatus may comprise one or more processor cores of a processor and a set of current limiters. Each current limiter may be coupled to a respective processor core and arranged to monitor processor activity in the processor, to compare the processor activity to one or more current limits of multiple current limits; and to initiate a current-limiting action when the one or more current limits is exceeded.
