Abstract
Power management systems and methods that facilitate efficient and effective power conservation are presented. In one embodiment a power management method comprises: performing an initiation metric determination process, and adjusting operations of a logic component based on said threshold value. In one exemplary implementation, the initiation metric determination process includes monitoring activity of a logic component, and establishing a power conservation initiation threshold value. The initiation metric determination process can include performing a system architecture characteristic analysis in which a system architecture power-consumption break-even time (BE) is determined for the system. The initiation metric determination process can also include performing a system utilization analysis process is performed in which idle period durations detected during said monitoring are sorted into a variety of different length intervals and analyzed accordingly. Histograms of idle period durations can be collected. Adjusting operations can include entering a low power state.
